The primary source of increased CO2 in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, for energy and transportation. Deforestation and land-use changes also contribute by reducing the number of trees that can absorb CO2. Additionally, industrial processes and certain agricultural practices release CO2, further exacerbating the problem. Together, these human activities significantly elevate atmospheric CO2 levels, driving climate change.

Is CO2 made of fossil fuels?

No. C02 is a gas created or better yet expelled from every living thing on the planet such as plants, animals, algae and even bacteria. Whenever an organic compound is combusted or burnt it releases C02. The burning of fossil fuels will expel C02. Volcanoes, hot springs and forest fires along with trees and plants were the and remain the largest depositors of C02 in the atmosphere. It is unique that it does not have a liquid state at a regular atmospheric pressure. In its solid form it is called dry ice. When it melts, it changes straight into a gas.


Do carbs create C02 in the lungs I have Emphysema and C02 is my enemy By cutting carbs am I slowing down damage?

Carbohydrates do not cause C02 in the lungs. Lung irritants cause emphysema, so the lungs do not clear out C02 as well.
