Was there more carbon dioxide in the air 2000 years ago?

No. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere 2000 years ago were around 280 ppm (parts per million) and remained around that level till about 1800, when we started burning coal. Levels now (2013) are approaching 400 ppm.


Which countries produced the most carbon dioxide in 2000?

The top three countries that produced the most carbon dioxide in 2000 were China, the United States, and Russia. These countries are among the largest emitters of CO2 due to their large populations and industrial activities.


Why is the atmospheric carbon dioxide on the rise?

Deforestation, which removes the trees that used to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).Atmospheric carbon dioxide is certainly on the rise. From 1970 the level rose by about 1.5 parts per million each year. However, since 2000 the annual rise is averaging 2.1 ppm.Scientists suggest this might mean that the Earth is losing its ability to soak up its normal billions of tons of carbon each year through its forests and oceans.


Which countries produced the most total co2 in 2000?

The top CO2 emitters in 2000 were China, United States, Russia, India, and Japan. These countries accounted for the majority of global carbon dioxide emissions during that year.


Why is pure iron not useful?

Hot air is blasted into the furnace causing coke (carbon) to burn rapidly and raise the temperature to 2000 °C.carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide + heat. C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g)The carbon dioxide then reacts with hot carbon to form carbon monoxide.carbon dioxide + carbon carbon monoxide. CO2(g) + C(s) 2CO(g)Carbon monoxide then reduces iron in the ore to iron metal.carbon monoxide + iron(III) oxide carbon dioxide + iron. 3CO(g) + Fe2O3(s) 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(l)The temperature where the reduction takes place is above 1500 °C. Iron falls to the bottom of the furnace where the temperature is 2000 °C.Iron is liquid at this temperature and is tapped off periodically

How much did carbon dioxide levels increase from 1980 to 2000?

Carbon dioxide levels increased by approximately 15-20 parts per million (ppm) from 1980 to 2000. This is based on data from the Mauna Loa Observatory, one of the longest-running sites measuring atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

How much carbon does a tree consume?

On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What was the Percent of the Earth's Oxygen in the year 2000?

Since the beginning of the Cambrian period, O2 levels have fluctuated between 15% and 30% of atmospheric volume. Towards the end of the Carboniferous period (about 300 million years ago) atmospheric O2 levels reached a maximum of 35% by volume, which may have contributed to the large size of insects and amphibians at this time.Whilst human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have an impact on relative carbon dioxide concentrations, their impact on oxygen levels is less significant.
