This Rate is "Increasing at a Tragically Unstoppable Rate": There, It has been Said.

It also must be Said the the current regime in Canada just issued a 500 page Budget that did not include the Words Climate Change - only Go-Oil-Sands-Go, and Hurry-Up with that [Capacity Unneeded] and Populace Decrying pair of pipelines {supertankers destined to appear where People will lie down in the Streets to prevent them from berthing in Their [literally] un-comparably pristine Island laced Environment!} Radio Quote "Mr. Harper, stop misleading the Chinese Government into thinking that this monstrosity will ever be completed; the People will lie down in the Streets..." Lord, give Us Strength!

How have humans contributed to the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the last century?

Humans burned and continue to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, travel and to generate electricity. This releases extra carbon from millions of years ago.They also destroyed forests all over the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What might decrease global atmospheric carbon dioxide?

There is no known way that humans can economically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; all we can really do is reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide and slow down the rate at which atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing. The surface waters of the ocean do absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as atmospheric carbon dioxide level increase, but there is little interchange betwen the warm upper ocean and the deep layers. However over a period of several thousand years, there is sufficient interchange to absorb large volumes of carbon dioxide, allowing the atmospheric concentration to return more or less to normal. Afforestation. Planting trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


Is it true or false does the increased amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere may be causing global warming to occur at a faster than usual rate?

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 the level in carbon dioxide in the blood increases the?

If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.


What will be the effect of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to photosynthesis?

Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can initially increase rates of photosynthesis, as it is a key component for the process. However, excessive levels of carbon dioxide can eventually lead to decreased photosynthetic efficiency, disrupting plant growth and potentially impacting ecosystems.

How does burning fossil fuel affect the rate of weathering?

Burning fossil fuels affect the rate of weathering by releasing carbon dioxide into the air, polluting theenvironment. As more carbon dioxide is released into the air, more carbonation can occur, creating more acids to weather the area's rocks.


What determines whether carbon dioxide is absorbed or released by blood?

The rate at which carbon dioxide enters the cell is determined by the concentration of carbon dioxide on each side of the membrane. Carbon dioxide crosses the plasma membrane by simple diffusion.

What would happen to the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere if there were less plants and trees?

Trees and plants take in Carbon Dioxide and in turn breathes out oxygen. If there was no plants and trees we would die. The whole of the world depends on plants and trees. Not meaning to sound like a tree-hugger, but don't cut down trees...plant them!


What is the rate of carbon dioxide production?

You can find the rate of carbon dioxide production by doing an experiment to show the rate of carbon dioxide,You do this by counting the number of bubbles produced per minute.Increasing any key factor will increase the rate...

What is the rate of respiration determined by levels in blood?

The rate of respiration is determined by the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The main controller of the rate of respiration is the brain.

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?

If the blood concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the breathing rate is most likely to increase. This occurs as a response to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
