If we stopped burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) tomorrow, scientists believe there is enough carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere for warming to continue for many years. It may be hundreds of years before carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reduces to its pre-Industrial Revolution levels (280 ppm (parts per million) instead of the present 400 ppm).
Scientists believe that the primary cause of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space, leading to a rise in global temperatures.
Today the average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approx. 4oo vpm; some scientists consider that values over 300 ppm are high.
CO2 levels have risen steadily over the past six decades, as we have carefully charted their rise. Most scientists recognize human activity is primarily responsible for the continued, historically unprecedented climb in CO2. We are at very nearly 400 ppm now, and will pass 500 ppm before 2050. Yes, most scientists are aware that CO2 levels must continue climbing so long as we continue consuming fossil fuels as such prodigious rates.
Carbon dioxide has been discovered on Titania, which is the largest of Uranus' eight moons, but only a tiny amount of carbon dioxide has been found on Uranus, and only in the upper atmosphere. Scientists believe it can only have come from an external source, like meteors or comet debris.
Scientists believe that global warming is happening to the earth because of the greenhouse effect and carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.
Most scientists believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main gas responsible for causing the temperature in the atmosphere to rise due to its role in trapping heat from the sun, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.
... the burning of fossil fuels, which is adding extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe
Scientists believe that stromatolites were responsible for providing an oxygen-rich atmosphere in precambrian times. Stromatolites are structures formed of sediment. The cyanobacteria that formed these structures were photoautotrophs that used sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce their food and a byproduct of oxygen.
Scientists believe that the increase in greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes is the main cause of the Earth's atmosphere warming. This leads to the greenhouse effect, where these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet's temperature to rise.
Scientists believe that the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere primarily comes from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release carbon that has been stored in the Earth for millions of years, contributing to the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

It is of no concern to scientists - its just data. However, it is a concern to the human beings who are also scientists since their environment is getting fouled up.
Many scientists believe that the greenhouses gases have contributed to the climate change due to increased concentrations of the gases in the atmosphere courtesy of human activities such as deforestation, and through fossil fuels.
Scientists are using certain species of bacteria and algae to consume carbon dioxide as part of a process called carbon capture and storage (CCS). These organisms use the carbon dioxide as a source of food for growth, helping to reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
