Just like human live on oxygen, plants live on carbon dioxide. In absence of carbon-dioxide they will die because they will be unable to create chlorophyll.

What will happen if carbon dioxide pollution is reduced?

If carbon dioxide pollution is reduced then the accelerating greenhouse effect might slow and global warming would not be so much a threat.


What would happen to the atmosphere's temperatures if there wasn't any carbon dioxide?

The atmosphere would be slightly cooler than it is now if there were no carbon dioxide in it. Carbon dioxide is just one of several so-called "greenhouse gasses". It is second in importance to water vapor, a very distant second. So, if all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere suddenly disappeared, it would not affect temperatures very much. What you have to worry about is the effect on plant life. Plants cannot survive without carbon dioxide. No trees, no crops. Fortunately, it's just not possible to deplete all of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Even over the long term. There are plenty of sources for carbon dioxide, including the burning of fossil fuels and respiration of animal life. And if that all ran out, then you have about a hundred times as much CO2 stored in the oceans as there is in the atmosphere, and that would go back into the atmosphere rather quickly.


Carbon Dioxide Would Increase In The Environment If?

Carbon Dioxide would increase in the environment if the rain forests are demolished.


What do you use carbon dioxide?

Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.

What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?

Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.
