To calculate the mass of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at 350 ppm (parts per million), we need to know the total mass of the atmosphere and the molar mass of carbon dioxide. The molar mass of carbon dioxide is about 44 grams per mole. At 350 ppm, the mass of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be around 5.15×10^15 kg.
Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in June 1994 were around 350 ppm (parts per million). Levels now (2013) are approaching 400 ppm.
Three hundred and fifty is what climate scientists believe is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere. Unfortunately we reached that in 1985 and the present level is more than 400 parts per million!
Just as the earth has naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so also does the planet Venus have naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere. Because the concentration of carbon dioxide is so high in the Venetian atmosphere, it has a more considerable greenhouse effect.
It's in the air and we exhale carbon dioxide.A small percentage of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is released by the metabolic processes of organisms, and by our burning of fuels. In recent decades, the amount of carbon dioxide has increased so much, some scientists believe maintaining the current amount of carbon dioxide will devastate Earth's climate. Actually, today there were festivals held all over the world to make people aware of this issue. See http://www.350.org/
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contributes to the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming and climate change. While carbon dioxide is a natural part of the Earth's atmosphere, human activities such as burning fossil fuels have significantly increased its levels, causing negative effects on the environment. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is crucial to mitigate these impacts.

To find the mass of carbon in C2H6, we first need to calculate the molar mass of C2H6. Carbon has a molar mass of 12 g/mol, and hydrogen has a molar mass of 1 g/mol. The molar mass of C2H6 is (212) + (61) = 30 g/mol. The mass of carbon in 350 grams of C2H6 is then (2*12)/30 * 350 = 140 grams.

CO2 is a heat trapping, "greenhouse gas" (GHG). It is thought that 350 ppm (parts per million) of CO2 should be sustainable (not contribute significantly to global warming). We are currently almost 400 ppm, and will exceed 500 ppm at the current rate of consumption in less than 40 years (by 2050).
The vast majority of carbon contained in the atmosphere exists in the form of carbon dioxide. At this point in time, carbon dioxide is present in the lower atmosphere at around 350 parts per million.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (GHG). It traps heat in our atmosphere, causing the planet's temperature to increase. This increase will result in the spread of tropical diseases, flooding of low lying areas, more frequent and violent storms, increased desertification of some areas, and other long term economic hardships. 350 parts per million (ppm) is considered by many scientists to be close to the maximum sustainable level for CO2. We will pass 400 ppm in 2015, and levels will continue to rise for decades to come. We don't know all the bad things that will happen, but we are sure to find out.
Because although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it does not have an atmosphere. Venus however (which is the hottest planet), has a high carbon dioxide atmosphere so it acts as a blanket trapping in the heat.
