Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.

Burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and certain industrial processes release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These activities release carbon that has been stored for millions of years, adding to the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has varied over Earth's history due to natural processes like volcanic activity, changes in ocean circulation, and the growth and decay of plant life. However, the current levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been in at least 800,000 years, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming and climate change.

Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

No, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is much greater than the amount of carbon dioxide. The current levels of carbon dioxide are approximately 0.04% of the atmosphere, while oxygen levels are around 21%.
Burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and certain industrial processes release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
The amount of carbon in the atmosphere stays relatively constant through a balance of carbon sources and sinks. Natural processes, like photosynthesis and respiration, regulate the levels of carbon dioxide. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have disrupted this balance by releasing excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
The concentration of carbon dioxide decrease.
It decreases
