Levels of carbon dioxide in 1750 were approximately 275 parts per million. Today (2011) concentrations are approximately 392 ppm, an increase of more than 40 percent.
Venus has a primary atmosphere, composed mainly of carbon dioxide with some nitrogen and trace gases. This atmosphere has been present since the planet's formation and has not significantly changed over time.
The burning of fossil fuels (coal & oil) is the primary cause of the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
No. Carbon dioxide gas is not necessarily any temperature. It may be cold in some cases, but as a component of the atmosphere it is often found at room temperature. Since it is a product of combustion, extremely hot carbon dioxide may be found in most flames.
As humans cut down rain forests, the carbon cycle is disrupted because forests store a large amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere when trees are cut down and burned or decompose. This leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and global warming. The loss of trees also reduces the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
The atmosphere contains carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases. Levels of this gas are increasing in the atmosphere since we began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
The levels of carbon dioxide have changed since the early Earth's atmosphere due to various factors such as volcanic activity, changes in ocean chemistry, and the evolution of plants. Over time, these factors have influenced the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to fluctuations in its levels.

Carbon Dioxide
In an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, warm carbon dioxide would rise. Since carbon dioxide is better than twice as dense as air, it would need to be really hot before it would rise.
The atmosphere of mars is thin and is 95.32% carbon dioxide. Since it is so thin, not much is found in it.
Since the Big Bang, the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen have changed significantly. Carbon dioxide levels were initially much higher due to volcanic activity, but then decreased as photosynthetic organisms evolved and absorbed CO2 to produce oxygen. Oxygen levels gradually increased as a result of this photosynthesis, leading to the oxygen-rich atmosphere we have today.
True. The carbon dioxide level in the Earth's atmosphere has been increasing since around 1900 due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
Carbon dioxide blankets are used in pits to kill cattle without "violence". CO2 diffuses into the atmosphere. Ozone is found where it is made, and decays into oxygen before it can diffuse very far.
The burning of fossil fuels (coal & oil) is the primary cause of the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere in 1750 were between 275 and 280 ppm (parts per million). In 2012 they were 396 ppm. That is a percentage increase of more than 40%. (41.4%, 280 to 394; 43.2%, 275 to 394) See the co2now.org site below.
