Climate scientists all over the world agree that carbon dioxide is a dangerous greenhouse gas contributing to global warming and climate change. The danger come from the amount of additional CO2 that is released by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). The carbon in fossil fuels has been safely sequestered underground for 300 million years, and the earth's natural carbon cycle can't cope with the extra amount. It is the additional gas in the atmosphere that is capturing the sun's heat and causing the accelerated greenhouse effect.

True or false the main carbon cycle is conversion from carbon dioxide to living matter and back to carbon dioxide?

True. The main carbon cycle involves the conversion of carbon dioxide into living matter through photosynthesis by plants, which is then released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through respiration and decomposition processes.


Do the lungs exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen true or false?

True


Is it true that you need carbon dioxide?

Ofcource you need carbon dioxide! Weather we like it or not, we produce it, since when we breathe, we take in oxygen, but when we breathe out, we take ou Carbon Dioxide!


Is carbon dioxide metal nonmetal or metalloid?

True or false removal of forests reduces the earth ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

True. Forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. When forests are removed, this natural carbon sink is diminished, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
