Carbon dioxide levels

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a natural gas in the Earth's atmosphere, mostly produced by respiration, combustion, and natural processes. Its levels have been rising due to human activities, primarily burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This increase contributes to climate change, as CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Monitoring CO2 levels is crucial for understanding and addressing climate change and its impacts on ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels. Reducing CO2 emissions is essential for a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
