CO2 has affected climate change, by thickening the atmosphere - this causes more radiation emitted by the sun to become trapped within the atmosphere, instead of reflecting back into space.

What is the increase of co2 causing?

The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming and climate change.


What effects does the co2 cycle have?

The carbon dioxide (CO2) cycle plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate. It involves the exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. Increased CO2 levels from human activities are contributing to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Efforts to mitigate CO2 emissions are necessary to reduce these impacts.


Is CO2 good?

If you mean CO2--carbon dioxide--it is a natural part of Earth's environment. We can not breath it, but plants need it to survive. It can be used to extinguish fires. However, the increasing amount of CO2 in the admosphere (mostly from burning coal and petroleum products) is causing a problem of climate change.


How are emimmions from gas affecting are climate?

The greenhouse effect is where gasses (water vapor, CO2) trapping heat in the atmosphere. More gas emissions means more CO2 could lead to the conclusion that the temperature will get warmer However this has yet to be proven and we are not sure that CO2 is the cause of the climate change. (There are other competing theories involving the sun cycles)


Which pollutant has the greatest effect on climate?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the pollutant that has the greatest effect on climate change. It is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and changes in climate patterns.

Why is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change so concerned about the emission of CO2?

As atmospheric CO2 is considered the major cause of climate change it is only natural that the Panel on Climate Change should be concerned with processes that affect it.


Is there a strong connection between CO2 emissions and global climate change?

Yes, there is a strong connection between CO2 emissions and global climate change. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures and various climate impacts such as rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. Reducing CO2 emissions is vital to mitigating the effects of climate change.


How do you form a climate change?

with too much co2 from cars etc.


How are tourists effected by climate change?

Tourists are most likely only to come when there is nice weather.


What are the release dates for The Daily Orbit - 2012 Even Space Satellites Are Effected by Climate Change 1-56?

The Daily Orbit - 2012 Even Space Satellites Are Effected by Climate Change 1-56 was released on: USA: 13 November 2012


How do trees stabilize climate?

In theory, (if you want to go with this specific interpretation) climate change is caused by greenhouse gasses like CO2. Trees use CO2 for respiration. They are taking out the gasses we produce, stabilizing the climate.


What is important to prevent from pullution of environment by producing coal electricity?

When burning coal to generate electricity, carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed. CO2 is one o the greenhouse gases supposed to be causing climate change. Sequestration of CO2 is where the CO2 is captured and returned to the earth for storage. This prevents the CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere and potentially causing climate change.


How did the warmer climate at the end of the Ice Age affect at the Americans?

The Americans were so used to the colder climate, that they werent prepared for a climate change, which effected their health, bodies, and survival.


What is the most dominant greenhouse gas causing our change in climate?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).


More about CO2?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a vital role in the Earth's carbon cycle, as plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have led to an increase in CO2 levels, which contributes to global warming and climate change. Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions are crucial in combating climate change.


How can we convert CO2 to O2 to help mitigate climate change and improve air quality?

One way to convert CO2 to O2 to help mitigate climate change and improve air quality is through the process of photosynthesis. Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and release oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis. Increasing the number of plants and trees can help remove CO2 from the air and increase the amount of oxygen available, which can have a positive impact on both climate change and air quality.


What is the increase of co2 causing?

The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming and climate change.
