The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide helps to?
Carbon dioxide helps to raise the temperature of the planet by contributing to global warming.
Does earth have carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
Yes it does. Carbon dioxide has been useful in keeping the planet warm. Now it is causing the Warming.
How does carbon dioxide affect the planet in a bad way?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as we have now, 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04% instead of the regular 280 ppm that we've had for thousands of years, is the cause of global warming. This is very bad for the planet.
If global warming is happening how is it warming the planet?
The sun's rays (ultraviolet radiation) come through the atmosphere and warm the surface of the earth. This warmth rises in the form of infrared radiation into the atmosphere, where it is trapped by greenhouse gases. These are gases like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour. The warmed gases spread the heat around and prevent it escaping into space. This is how global warming is warming the planet.
What are the effects of increasing carbon dioxide?
I am not sure... I do not believe there is one only because plants take in our carbon dioxide that we breathe out. Humans then take in plants oxygen that plants breathe out. There isn't really a negative effect of carbon dioxide because of humans. We don't cause the negative effects. I am not positive if this is the answer to your question but this is what I thought of when I read it.

carbon dioxide contributes to global warming through the?
The Greenhouse Effect. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, causing the overall planet to warm.
What happened when there is abundant carbon dioxide in atmosphere?
There is enough warmth for life to exist on the planet. Planet lfe is also able to flourish and we have a comfortable planet. Excess carbon dioxide is believed to contribute to global warming and could create a less hospitable planet.
What does venus have on it's planet?
A thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and chronic global warming with temperatures up to 500 degrees C.
What causes carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to increase?
Carbon dioxide is known to help keep our planet warm and is a minor contributor to the overall warming of the planet. Current levels are around 0.037% which is questionably up from a 1000 year low in 1850 of 0.028%. This change has been consistent with past records of warming trends. CO2 follows temperature rises by 20 to 800 years. These increases help plant life.A:Increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes Global Warming.

What is the gas that causes global warming?
There are numerous "greenhouse" gases. Water vapor is the most abundant of these, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others. In the past century humans have been busy pumping up earth's carbon dioxide levels, and this has resulted in measurable increases in earth's average temperature.
What do people think about burning coal?
They think it's bad for the planet as it emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
Which gas in the air is responsible for global warming?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas that is the reason for global warming. Another view: Water vapor is far and away the major gas in terms of global warming's additional heating of the planet. Carbon Dioxide increases alone can not cause the full increase that is currently believed to be happening. Additional water vapor, the earth's primary greenhouse gas, has to be calculated into the equation to account for the increase.
