Water vaper (humidity), carbon dioxide, methane and other small amounts of gases keep the Sun's heat all around us. If that did not happen, Earth would be unbearably cold at night. Most life could not live in that extreme cold.

So, the answer is, carbon dioxide emissions keep you from freezing to death!

But the Earth is always in climate cycles - very, very slow cycles. In the 1500s, the Earth was in a very, very cold climate that is now called the Little Ice Age. As we to this day recover from the Little Ice Age, the Earth's average temperature has increased a little, although in the 1950s and 1960s there was a scary period of global cooling, and most everyone was hollering, "We have to do something, or it will be too late.

People then called for the government to "do something" before we all froze into a solid block of ice and San Francisco was hundreds of feet above the ocean. One idea that almost actually happened was to spray black pigment from planes and helicopters on the north and south poles so they would heat up more and melt.

Seems funny, now, doesn't it? And so will global 'warming' seem funny in 15 or 20 years when England freezes over due to a (predicted) change in the warm Gulf Current that currently warms England.

What are 2 ways we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions to combat climate change?

Two ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change are transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and implementing policies to increase energy efficiency in buildings and transportation.


What is it called when burning coal and exhaust from automobiles release carbon into the air?

This process is called carbon emissions. When coal is burned or exhaust from automobiles is released, it contributes to the presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to issues such as climate change and air pollution.


Is ozone depletion an activity that is responsible for the largest percentage of human-made carbon dioxide emissions?

Actually the questions must be the other way round that is the largest percentage of human-made carbon dioxide emissions responsible for ozone depletion. But still carbon dioxide is not the only reason for the ozone depletion. Various other factors such as freons, CFC's etc are responsible for ozone depletion.


How do you calculate carbon emissions and why is it important to track them?

Carbon emissions are calculated by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere from human activities such as burning fossil fuels. It is important to track carbon emissions because they contribute to climate change and global warming, which can have significant negative impacts on the environment, public health, and the economy. Tracking emissions helps identify sources of pollution, assess progress in reducing emissions, and develop strategies to mitigate climate change.


True or false automobiles exhaust and industrial emissions are major sources of carbon dioxide?

True; those and many other sources are present [ubiquitously] today, on an all too constantly ongoing basis.

Are carbon dioxide emissions bad?

I'm certain someone will debate me for this, but global climate change has been attributed largely to carbon dioxide emissions.


What are carbon emissions a part of?

Carbon dioxide and monoxide are byproducts of combustion. You also breathe out carbon dioxide. The gases go into the atmosphere and play a (only partially-understood) role in the earth's climate.

How is the environment impacted by the charge associated with carbon dioxide emissions?

Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to rising temperatures, melting ice caps, more extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and wildlife. Overall, the environment is negatively impacted by the charge associated with carbon dioxide emissions.


Burning coal and exhaust from automobiles release carbon into the air is called?

This process is called carbon emissions, where carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. These emissions contribute to global warming and climate change.


Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?

The oceans and vegetation absorb a significant amount of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning fossil fuels, which reduces the overall increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, this absorption capacity is limited, and the excess carbon dioxide that remains in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and climate change.


Do cars produce carbon dioxide emissions?

Yes, cars produce carbon dioxide emissions when they burn gasoline or diesel fuel.

Does the atmosphere store more carbon dioxide than the ocean?

No, the ocean stores far more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere. The ocean absorbs about 30-40% of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions, acting as a crucial buffer that helps regulate the Earth's climate.


How does sprawl increase carbon dioxide emissions?

Urban sprawl creates and increases carbon dioxide emissions via more vehicles on the roads. More people means more transportation needed. More vehicles on the road creates more carbon dioxide emissions.


World's carbon dioxide emission from the use of the fossil fuel 2002?

The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.
