The amount of carbon in the atmosphere should stay the same to maintain a balance in the Earth's climate and prevent negative impacts such as global warming and climate change.
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The amount of carbon in the air should stay relatively stable to maintain equilibrium in the carbon cycle. Excessive carbon emissions can lead to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. It is important to balance carbon emissions with natural processes like photosynthesis and carbon sequestration to keep the carbon cycle in check.
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.
If it stays the same, then the world's temperature does not go up. The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere, the oceans and every other part of the biosphere. This is a natural effect and it keeps the world pleasantly warm for most of us to survive. The amount of carbon in the air stays the same. However, we have been burning coal and other fossil fuels for the past 250 years. Fossil fuels contain carbon that was laid down million of years ago, so this is extra gas into the atmosphere. This extra gas is also not removed. So it stays there warming up, causing global warming.
Carbon never leaves our environment. Where is exists has always been the issue. Carbon makes up all living matter. This carbon is released into the ground or our air when the organism dies and decays or is burnt. A tree that is burnt will release the same amount of carbon as a tree that rots.

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.

Yes (higher= less oxygen, and vice-versa for lower.) actually the oxygen ratio remains the same but air gets less dense at altitude so you have to breathe a lot more air to get the oxygen you need
Carbon in the atmosphere is added by processes like combustion, decomposition and losses from methane sources. It is removed by photosynthesis and, chemical reaction and dissolving in ocean water. As long as the sources exceed the sinks the carbon will stay (and increase) in the atmosphere. Human activities increase the sources and decrease the sinks.
A carbon neutral fuel is one that does not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Biofuel and biomass are carbon neutral because they remove CO2 from the atmosphere during their growing season, and they release exactly the same amount of CO2 when they are burnt. So they are carbon neutral.
