An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

What two gasses have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation?

Carbon dioxide and methane are the two gases that have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation.


Will increased co2 levels cause climate to cool?

No, in fact, the opposite will happen. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere are producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


Is it true or false does the increased amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere may be causing global warming to occur at a faster than usual rate?

If your question is really about oxygen then it is false. And oxygen is not increasing in the atmosphere. If you are talking about carbon dioxide, a gas that IS increasing in the atmosphere, then it is true. Carbon dioxide is causing the speeding up of global warming.


Humans have greatly increased the level of what in the atmosphere.?

carbon dioxide


How has the burning of fossil fuels affected the carbon cycle?

Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.


Is carbon dioxide pollution a hazard to humans?

It is not dangerous to breathe the amounts in the atmosphere, but the small percentage is causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. So it is certainly a hazard to humans.

What is mar's atmosphere mostly composed of?

Mars' atmosphere is mostly composed of carbon dioxide (95.3%), with smaller amounts of nitrogen (2.7%) and argon (1.6%). There are also trace amounts of oxygen and water vapor in the atmosphere.


What is the enhanced greenhouse effect and who caused it?

The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is the increased heat in the atmosphere. It is caused largely by humans burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Both these activities Lead to more carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.


How are oceans directly affected by the increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

The increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lead to ocean acidification, which can harm marine life and disrupt ecosystems.
