| The world can´t take anymore CO2. |
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of
two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon
atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure
and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state.
It is currently at a globally averaged concentration
of approximately 375 ppm by volume in the Earth's
atmosphere, although this varies both by location
and time. Carbon dioxide's chemical formula is CO2.
Carbon dioxide is produced by all animals, plants,
fungi and microorganisms during respiration and
is used by plants during photosynthesis to make
sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration
or used as the raw material for plant growth. It
is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle.
Carbon dioxide is generated as a byproduct of the
combustion of fossil fuels or vegetable matter,
among other chemical processes. Inorganic carbon
dioxide is output by volcanoes and other geothermal
processes such as hot springs... |
