It is a byproduct of fossil fuel oxidation. As we burn coal (primarily carbon), it combines with atmospheric oxygen (of which we have plenty) to release CO2. This would be not that much of a problem if there were only half a billion humans burning coal for fuel. But with 7 billion people doing it for energy, the buildup of CO2 poses a long term problem.
