If your question is really about oxygen then it is false. And oxygen is not increasing in the atmosphere. If you are talking about carbon dioxide, a gas that IS increasing in the atmosphere, then it is true. Carbon dioxide is causing the speeding up of global warming.

When there are increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is causing a what of the earth's atmosphere?

An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


The temperature of the Earth is rising due to the increase of what?

Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming.


What two gasses have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation?

Carbon dioxide and methane are the two gases that have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation.


Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?

Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.


How is the sunlight in the atmosphere being affected by the increased levels of CO2?

The increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are causing sunlight to be trapped, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. This can result in changes to the Earth's climate and weather patterns.


Is carbon dioxide pollution a hazard to humans?

It is not dangerous to breathe the amounts in the atmosphere, but the small percentage is causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. So it is certainly a hazard to humans.


How has the burning of fossil fuels affected the carbon cycle?

Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.


Will increased co2 levels cause climate to cool?

No, in fact, the opposite will happen. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere are producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


Which two gases have been added to earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation?

Carbon dioxide and methane are the two main gases that have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and livestock farming. These gases are known as greenhouse gases as they trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to increased global warming by absorbing and trapping infrared radiation.


What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?

The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.


What is the increase of co2 causing?

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


What is the greenhouse hypothesis?

The greenhouse hypothesis is the theory that increased levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in Earth's atmosphere are causing a warming effect on the planet. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to global warming and climate change.
