You should consider your carbon footprint because this is a measure of how much you add to global warming. You can then plan ways of reducing your use of fossil fuel energy, leaving a lighter mark on the planet.

∙ 14y agoYou need to reduce global warming because if you don't, the planet will slowly heat up, not only making the weather unpredictable, but gradually killing the planet.

∙ 13y agoCO2 traps the heat from the sun within the earth's atmosphere, which contributes to the issue of global warming. Therefore, reducing CO2 emissions would slow down the effects of this crisis.

So that the atmosphere will be free of diseases
Almost all fuel used to create energy (coal, oil, gas) causes carbon dioxide emissions, therefore not using aka saving energy will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nature produces most of the carbon dioxide. Man produces about 6% of all CO2 produced. Much of this by items that would otherwise rot and create CO2 naturally.
CO2 is carbon dioxide, and excessive CO2 is believed to cause Global Warming.
There is a strong connection between CO2 emissions and global climate change. Read the NASA website link below.
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases. The major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O)1. At present, atmospheric CO2 is nearly 35% higher than preindustrial levels and is increasing1. Although these gases are released from natural activity, human activity is responsible for the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. According to both the European Environment Agency and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, CO2 emissions account for the largest share of total greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 80-85% of total emissions. Fossil fuel combustion used for transportation and electricity generation are the main source of CO2 emissions, contributing to more than 50% of total emissions. Natural sources of greenhouse gases include lakes and other freshwaters such as rivers, streams, ponds, and wetlands as well as terrestrial landscapes such as forests and fields. Lakes are active, changing, and important regulators of (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Carbon tax is normally paid by industries that emit carbon dioxide. It is designed to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions, because industries will try to become greener so as to avoid paying the tax.
Power plants can purchase scrubbers to remove some CO2.
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
Reduce its need for fosil fuels to generate its energy and power its tranportation system.
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.
It doesn't. Global means all over the world. Carbon emissions from one part of the world affect everyone. Similarly, efforts to reduce CO2 emissions help to reduce the speed of global warming everywhere.
It is helping to reduce green house gas emissions/ global warming which is harming planet earth. Do well and clean up after yourself and you will help keep our home nice and clean. It will also reduce CO2 emissions and many other harmful gases, so please, take care of Earth!
Catalytic converters are used to reduce emissions, however they only work at high temperatures, while they are warming up they do not reduce emissions, so the quicker they are functioning, the lower the emissions will be.
CO2 and methane from our bodies.
Plants can fix CO2 and that makes them important in the efforts to combat excessive carbon emissions to the air. Plants are seen to be important in carbon sequestration.

We can reduce emissions by recycling waht we can and walking, cycling or taking public transport! HELP SAVE OUR WORLD!
