Yes, because every person has a carbon footprint, some larger than others. So, as populations increase, so do carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?

Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.


Why is carbon dioxide such a deadly poison?

Carbon dioxide is a deadly poison because it can displace oxygen in the air, leading to suffocation. High levels of carbon dioxide can cause symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and eventually unconsciousness and death. It is particularly dangerous in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.


What type of atom do you think form carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.


Which greenhouse gas is most associated with global warming?

When we speak of global warming, we usually mean the rise in average global temperatures that has been occurring since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Rising levels of carbon dioxide account for most of this change, followed by methane levels.


Name the form of carbon in the atmosphere reservoir?

Do you mean just the form of carbon in the atmosphere, or every where? If you mean in the atmosphere it's Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean everywhere it's in limestone, trees, the ocean, and other places. Sorry if this doesn't help ya.

How might building a mall on land where there is now a park affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?

Parks are full of green vegetation which takes carbon dioxide from the air. Replacing a park with buildings will mean a rise in carbon dioxide levels.


How do scientists think that increased carbon dioxide levels contribute to global warming?

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases capture and retain the sun's heat. Increased carbon dioxide levels mean that more and more of this heat is retained. This is warming the earth and the atmosphere all round the world - global warming.

What does C-O levels mean?

C-O levels typically refer to carbon monoxide levels in the air. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to human health when present at high levels. Monitoring C-O levels is important for ensuring indoor air quality and preventing exposure to this dangerous gas.


How does carbon impact the regulation of mean global temperature?

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat and contributing to the greenhouse effect. Increased levels of carbon dioxide lead to more heat being trapped, resulting in a warming of Earth's surface, which can impact the regulation of mean global temperature by causing it to rise.


How do astronauts get rid of carbon dioxide?

Removed from where? If you mean the body (as you have put this in biology) the co2 is a product of respiration and is released through the mouth when you breathe out. However this question is far too vague; you could mean the atmosphere or anything...

What is the Formula for the compound oxygen and carbon?

if you mean carbon dioxied, the formula is: CO2 If you mean carbon monoxied, the formula is: CO If you mean Carbon Dioxide, the formula is: CO2 If you mean Carbon Monoxide, the formula is: CO [Corrections for spelling only]


What atmosphere contains a large amount of carbon Dixie?

Assuming you mean "carbon dioxide", the atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide.


What happens if you add more carbon to the atmosphere?

Assuming you mean cabon dioxide, this is a problem we are having now. The carbon dioxide, along with a few other gasses, trap heat from the sun and cause global warming. This is known as the greenhouse effect.
