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.
that is true
True. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a compound composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. It is formed when carbon reacts with oxygen, and its molecular structure is defined by its chemical formula.
True. The waste product eliminated by the lungs is carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of cellular respiration. It is exchanged for oxygen during the process of breathing.

true
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.
True
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!
Actually none of the options given above are true for carbon dioxide. Though carbon and oxygen are both non-metals, carbon dioxide is considered as a compound.
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.
that is true
No it is not true
Yes, the dissolved carbon dioxide reacts chemically with the water making carbonic acid, allowing more carbon dioxide to dissolve.
