60% of crude oil imported into the US is burned as fuel (cars, trucks, power plants). One barrel of crude oil makes about 317 kg of CO2. The US consumes about 9,286,000 barrels/day (of gasoline, assuming it produces the same CO2 per barrel...). One average person produces about 0.90 kg of CO2 per day. The US alone produces the CO2 of 2.9 trillion people. China has the US beat on the production of CO2 also.

Why do environmentalists believe that carbon dioxide emissions have increased?
At this time we are seeing rapid industrialization in China and India; conservation measures in the western world have not come close to offsetting the increased emissions from developing economies. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased.
Where do most of the emission that pollute the air come from?
A lot of carbon dioxide emissions are from cars and factories. However, an often overlooked source of greenhouse gas (methane) is cows. Cows actually add more to the greenhouse effect than cars do.
Does carbon dioxide come from water?
Carbon Dioxide is the air we breathe out. :)
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
What are the emissions to the atmosphere associated with burning coal?
Carbon dioxide emissions come from burning fossil fuels like coal.Other emissions from burning coal are sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (also referred to as soot or fly ash), mercury, lead, cadmium, other toxic heavy metals, trace amounts of uranium, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and arsenic.
When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium nitrate is carbon dioxide evolved?
No. Where would the carbon in the carbon dioxide come from?
Does carbon dioxide come from sunlight?
No ,
Where do the carbon atoms come from to produce the certain sugar for photosynthesis?
The carbon atoms used to produce sugars during photosynthesis primarily come from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants take in carbon dioxide through small openings in their leaves called stomata, and then use the energy from sunlight to convert the carbon dioxide into sugars through a series of biochemical reactions.
How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.
Where does the carbon come from that plants use to carbon dioxide?
From carbohydrates
What are the greenhouse gas emission figures?
Global greenhouse gas emissions are estimated at around 51 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. The largest contributors are carbon dioxide (76%), methane (16%), and nitrous oxide (6%). These emissions come from various human activities such as transportation, energy production, agriculture, and deforestation.
Where does carbon dioxide primarily come from?
oceans
