The two reasons are that human activities are adding CO2 and also preventing it from being removed.
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide is absorbed by: 1. Chlorophyll in green plants. The chlorophyll breaks down the carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used by the plant as a nutrient and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere. 2. Oceans. The carbon dioxide absorbed and dissolved in the water. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by green algae and water micro organisms.
Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Early bacteria used carbon dioxide as a source of fuel and as a result produced oxygen.
Several processes release carbon as gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane) into the atmosphere. Three important processes are fuel combustion, respiration, and methane release. -- Combustion of carbon-based fuels (wood, alcohol, biogas, or fossil fuels) remove oxygen and combine it to form carbon dioxide and other compounds. -- Plant and animal respiration release carbon dioxide. This is the reverse operation of photosynthesis. -- Methane is released from ruminant animals, from decomposition of organisms, and from ocean-bottom clathrate deposits.
Carbon dioxide is the waste product of the process of respiration in plants and animals and it is also released into the atmosphere by active volcanoes.The burning of coal and wood
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.

Green plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and using energy from the sun separate the carbon from the oxygen. They release the oxygen to the atmosphere, and use the carbon.
carbon dioxide being absorbed by natural processes like forests. This imbalance in carbon dioxide levels is contributing to global warming and climate change. It is important to reduce carbon emissions and protect natural ecosystems to help mitigate these impacts.
Carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Anything that is part of the carbon cycle releases carbon dioxide which moves in and out of the atmosphere, trees, oceans, animals and land.Anything that is part of the fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) industry releases carbon dioxide most of which remains in the atmosphere, building up. Examples are: factories, vehicles and power plants.
Deforestation is a serious problem for the world. It removes valuable trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store the carbon. This extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the reasons we have global warming.
Yes, I think soil can emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
