roughly 11% of CO2 in the atmosphere is contributable to humans' use of fossil fuel. The largest contributor to atmospheric CO2 is biomass degradation from rotting vegetation in rain forests and jungles. CO2 in the atmosphere amounts to only a fraction of 0.1% of the atmosphere, which is primarily Nitrogen (~79%) and Oxygen (~21%).

Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
What percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the US?
In 2009 the US emitted 5420 million tonnes of fossil fuels carbon dioxide. This was 17.8% of the world's total.
When humans burn fossil fuels which will increase?
Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
What percentage of Earth's carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuel?
Roughly 0.4% of all carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is blamed on all mankind's contributions. Most of that is through the burning of fossil fuels.
Which fossil fuel can be made to burn cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions if it is combined with purified oxygen?
I dont know :P
World's carbon dioxide emission from the use of the fossil fuel 2002?
The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.

What percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the US?
In 2009 the US emitted 5420 million tonnes of fossil fuels carbon dioxide. This was 17.8% of the world's total.
Which sector has the highest CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustions?
Coal has more carbon dioxide emissions than either oil or natural gas.
When humans burn fossil fuels which will increase?
Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
What is the thermal equation for coal?
You think probably to capture and storage of carbon dioxide emissions from coal and other fossil fuels.
What advantage does solar energy have over fossil fuels?
Solar energy emits no carbon dioxide emissions. It is free and renewable.
What are the waste products formed from burning fuel?
Burning fossil fuels like gasoline has emissions of carbon dioxide and water.
What percentage of Earth's carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuel?
Roughly 0.4% of all carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is blamed on all mankind's contributions. Most of that is through the burning of fossil fuels.
How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.
Do hybrid cars emit carbon dioxide?
Yes. if they are whole or even partly driven using fossil fuel then they create emissions
Which fossil fuel can be made to burn cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions if it is combined with purified oxygen?
I dont know :P
