Based on my experience, no. Theoretically, however, perhaps, as more solid fuels are burned during cooler months. However, I measure the CO2 concentrations in ambient air thousands of times throughout the year, and although I have never analyzed the data critically, I don't really see a significant difference.
it definitely does actually.
In the northern summer, where most of the world's vegetation is, the plants are all growing, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. So by September, levels are down a little. During the northern winter (December to February) all vegetation is dormant, so very little carbon dioxide is removed, and levels build up again (the power stations, factories and vehicles don't stop!)
Carbon dioxide levels typically decrease during the spring and summer months. This is primarily due to the increased photosynthetic activity of plants, which absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow. During these seasons, the higher temperatures and longer daylight hours promote plant growth, leading to a net reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide. In contrast, CO2 levels tend to rise in the fall and winter when plant growth slows and decay processes release CO2.
The oceans help to keep the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere low by dissolving a large portion of CO2 from the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the increased CO2 in the atmosphere is causing the oceans to become more acidic.
Even though Carbon Dioxide gas is the heaviest of the gases that make up our atmosphere. Breathing them out of your lungs heats up those Carbon Dioxide molecules to your body temperature and this helps them to rise into the atmosphere and as they cool they fall.
The Northern Hemisphere has much more land for vegetation to grow on compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up slowly during the northern winter, when trees and plants are dormant. Then in May everything begins to grow, and CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere, so the levels start coming down. In October and November vegetation stops growing, and in its dormant state it stops absorbing CO2, so the carbon in the atmosphere increases. These levels go up and down like this every year. The readings for 1958, 1959 and 1960 show this: 1960: May: 320.5 ppm: October: 314.5 ppm 1959: May: 320.0 ppm: October: 313.5 ppm 1958: May: 318.0 ppm: October: 313.0 ppm Ppm means parts per million, so 320 ppm is the same as 0.032 percent (per hundred). The recent readings for May are: 2011: 394.35 ppm 2010: 393.22 ppm 2009: 390.18 ppm See the graph at the link below.
Carbon dioxide levels change seasonally due to the natural processes of photosynthesis and respiration in plants. During the spring and summer months, plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which reduces the levels in the atmosphere. In the fall and winter, when plants go dormant or lose their leaves, respiration releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, causing an increase in levels.

In the northern winter since plants are dormant and not taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.The Northern Hemisphere has much more land for vegetation to grow on compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up slowly during the northern winter, when trees and plants are dormant. It generally reaches its highest level in May of every year.
The annual cycle of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is mainly due to the natural processes of photosynthesis and respiration in plants. During the spring and summer months, plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which reduces the concentration in the atmosphere. In the fall and winter, when plants go dormant and decay, they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere, causing an increase in concentration. This cycle repeats annually, leading to fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been rising over time due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
It goes up in the winter when the plants and trees in the northern hemisphere stop growing (and so stop removing carbon dioxide from the air). When spring arrives vegetation starts to grow again and the levels reduce slightly.
The level of carbon dioxide typically rises in a room over time as people exhale carbon dioxide as they breathe.
Yes, the minimum levels in CO2 concentrations correspond to the Northern Hemisphere's summer; this is because the Northern Hemisphere holds the majority of the world's vegetation. So before the summer, in the spring, there is much new growth in the Northern Hemisphere, which takes CO2 out of the atmosphere; when fall begins, vegetation becomes dormant. Other man-made processes continue to release CO2 into the atmosphere, so levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are at a maximum level at the end of the Winter.
Pneumonia will cause decreased oxygenation to tissues resulting in a raise of carbon dioxide. To understand the answer you need to understand the balance of pH and Bicarb. When the carbon dioxide raises the Bicarb reacts and levels fall; therefore, you have compensated respiratory acidosis.
During spring and summer more plants photosynthesize, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In fall and winter fewer plants are active, and some even die and decay, which releases carbon dioxide. This is more pronounced in the northern hemisphere which contains the most land mass and therefore the most plant life.
The oceans help to keep the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere low by dissolving a large portion of CO2 from the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the increased CO2 in the atmosphere is causing the oceans to become more acidic.
To rise. This is global warming.
