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.

How many pounds of carbon dioxide is in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound in the atmosphere. Total amount has to be in the trillions of pounds. There is a more in depth answer at the link below.
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon force?
Respiration
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Carbon dioxide is building up in your atmosphere for two reasons The first is that many of your activities produce carbon dioxide The second reason is that some of your activities limit the amount of?
The amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. (These activities are cutting down and destroying forests.)
What effect would over-logging of trees have on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Over-logging of trees means that they can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This has actually happened and levels of carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
Which process increases the amount of oxygen and decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis by green vegetation and forests.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)
Why does the air pressure change the altitude in the atmosphere?
As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
What will happen to the amount of CO2 if the pH decreases?
The concentration of carbon dioxide decrease.
The amount of gas in the atmosphere does what when the height above the earth's surface increases?
It decreases
What planet with the greatest amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
earth
What is the amount of atmosphere on Mars?
The atmosphere is very thin and is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.
What would a volcano do to atmosphere?
When it erupts, it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting it.
What happens when there is great amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.
What atmosphere contains a large amount of carbon Dixie?
Assuming you mean "carbon dioxide", the atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
