- What is Carbon dioxide (CO₂)? - myclimate
What is Carbon dioxide (CO₂)? Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a colourless and odourless gas that is a natural component of the air and part of the global carbon cycle It plays an important role in photosynthesis, in which plants convert CO₂ into oxygen
- CO₂ emissions - Our World in Data
We can calculate the contribution of the average citizen of each country by dividing its total emissions by its population This gives us CO2 emissions per capita In the visualization, we see the differences in per capita emissions across the world
- Carbon Dioxide - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an important heat-trapping gas, also known as a greenhouse gas, that comes from the extraction and burning of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), from wildfires, and natural processes like volcanic eruptions
- Carbon dioxide | Definition, Formula, Uses, Facts | Britannica
Carbon dioxide, a colorless gas having a faint sharp odor and a sour taste It is a greenhouse gas, but it is a minor component of Earth’s atmosphere, formed in combustion of carbon-containing materials, in fermentation, in respiration of animals, and employed by plants in the photosynthesis of carbohydrates
- Climate change: atmospheric carbon dioxide - NOAA Climate. gov
Each year, human activities release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, causing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to increase The global average carbon dioxide set a new record high in 2024: 422 7 parts per million ("ppm" for short)
- Carbon Dioxide Emissions | US EPA
