We won't asphyxiate. But CO2 is a heat trapping gas, and it takes decades for the earth to adjust to any slight rise. Human activity has increased CO2 levels from 280 ppm prior to the industrial revolution to nearly 400 ppm today. We will pass 500 ppm before 2050, at the current rate. Many climate scientists believe 350 ppm may be the maximum sustainable level for CO2.

Does an astroid have an atmosphere?
Usually they are too small - and have too little gravity - to be able to keep any significant amount of atmosphere. It is possible that some of the larger ones have some atmosphere, especially if they are in the colder regions of the Solar System (far from the Sun).
What is the problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.
How does the amount of gravity on a planet affect the thickness of the atmosphere?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
How does atmosphere affect an ecosystem?
the atmosphere is made up of different gases (nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbondioxide, water vapour and other noble gases). the atmosphere helps to keep the earth warm and at the correct temperature. However if the levels of these gases increase to a huge amount, it will becomes too hot which is one of the signs of global warming!
Why was the framework convention on climate change created by the UN?
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international environmental treaty started on 21 March 1994. It was set up to keep greenhouse gas levels low enough in the atmosphere to prevent dangerous changes to the climate. In the words of the UN: The UNFCCC objective is to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".
What causes a drug user to keep increasing the amount of drug they abuse?
Addiction...retardo.
Where does the greenhouse effect happen?
The greenhouse effect occurs in the Earth's atmosphere. It is a natural process where certain gases trap heat from the sun, helping to keep the planet warm enough to support life. However, human activities have intensified this effect by increasing the amount of these heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere.
How could the moon keep an atmosphere containing oxygen?
By increasing it's mass to something similar to Venus or Earth.The Moon does not have enough mass to "hold" onto an atmosphere as it is blown away by stellar winds.
Why might damage to the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere be dangerous?
the holes will let an abnormally large amount of the UV rays from the sun that the ozone layer may keep out and if this becomes a big problem the earth will heat up and life could possibly cease to exist

What are the chances of the Earth ending within 50 years?
Pretty high if humans keep on polluting the earth and causing the atmosphere to thin out, allowing dangerous radiation into out planet.
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.

What does the atmosphere do to the heat on earth?
The atmosphere acts as a blanket, trapping heat from the sun and preventing it from escaping back into space. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, helps regulate Earth's temperature and keep it within a range that supports life. However, human activities are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.

What happens if you keep increasing both the pressure and the temperature of a liquid?
It will boil
