What would happen if CO2 in air increases?

Answer 1

Too much carbon dioxide would cause a greenhouse effect, the Earth would trap all the heat from the sun killing all the plants and life on Earth. The Earth would become like the planet Venus.

Just the right amount would be beneficial to plants because plants take in CO2 and release oxygen.

Answer 2

It will increase in the side because if there are so many plants in the room then the carbon dioxide will go into the plant and come out of it.

Answer 3

An increase in plant growth would be the way the earth could naturally balance a rise in carbon dioxide. But if the associated temperature increase predominantly converted tropical rain forest into desert, that uptake would not occur.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Solar radiation that passes through the atmosphere, strikes the ground and is reradiated in the infrared spectrum (heat) that is preferentially absorbed by CO2 gas. The net effect is an increase in earth's temperature.

Our species has been pumping over 30 billion tons of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere each year. This additional gas has NOT been absorbed by plants, otherwise we would not measure a steady increase of depleted CO2. (CO2 from plants contains a natural small abundance of radiocarbon).

The rise in temperature will cause glaciers to melt, increase sea levels, increase desertification of some areas, and cause species migration which has already been noted. There will be other effects. This is a grand experiment, and although we don't know all the outcomes, we will be sure to find out.

Answer 4

Plants use CO2 and sunlight to produce the nutrients they need. Assuming the plant had adequate sunlight and soil quality the CO2 levels would go down and the O2 levels would increase.

Eventually if the chamber were sealed the plant might run out of CO2 and then it would begin to die.

Answer 5

An increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will cause an increase in global warming. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that is trapping the sun's heat. More of it causes more warming.

Answer 6

An increase in CO2 in the air leads to higher temperatures as CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. This can result in negative impacts such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, disruption of ecosystems, and threats to agriculture and human health.

Answer 7

There would be significantly more CO2 in the atmosphere because plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and fix the carbon into glucose.

Answer 8

the temperature of the earth increases as the green house effect increases
