Man, and all animals, breathe out carbon dioxide, but that is part of the natural carbon cycle, and that carbon is removed just as regularly.

Apart from the carbon cycle, man releases about 29 billion tonnes of CO2 a year, mostly from burning fossil fuels and cement production.

This works out at 79,452,000 tonnes every day (nearly 80 million tonnes or 88 million US tons).

A:The average American uses enough energy to release about 50,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. That's about 140 pounds a day for one American. That is the proposed major contributor to global warming. There are many small inexpensive steps that each person can do that will help bring these totals down. But, it needs to be a group effort. As the problem is a group problem! A:Well for every 1 gallon of gas consumed it produces 19 pounds of co2, given the fact that in America alone we burn 400,000,000 gallons of gas a day. that comes to 7.6 billion pounds of co2 emitted into the atmosphere each day by Americans alone.
