It is a fact that co2 causes warming so if we increase the co2 what do you think will happen?

Answer 1

get warmer

Answer 2

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. It is very good that we have some CO2 in the atmosphere otherwise earth would be a ball of ice, but the problem comes in when you dump a large amount in the atmosphere over a relatively short time. The earth warms up too fast, and species are not able to evolve fast enough to adjust to the new climate. This leads to mass extinctions.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution the concentration of CO2 has gone up from around 280 parts per million to 385 parts per million.

It might surprise you to know that the basic scientific understanding of greenhouse gases is fairly simple and was understood by Joseph Fourier in the 1820's. Arrhenius did much more work on the subject in the 1890's. (Both are famous scientist)

In modern days we can take into account many more natural factors to calculate better how much temperature change can be expected with a given increase of various green house gases as to include CO2.

By the way there are some answerers who are saying that Carbon Monoxide (CO not CO2) Blah blah blah. No. Yes carbon monoxide is also a greenhouse gas and it is poisonous, but due to the massive amounts of Carbon dioxide it is a much more relevant greenhouse gas. It does not act by destroying the ozone layer. That is an entirely different environmental issue. It was Hydro fluorocarbons that were destroying the ozone layer through a process called free radical chain reaction. Now they were also very potent greenhouse gases, but very rare. By the time they would have built up to a level that would have caused noticeable warming we would all have been dead of skin cancer.

The science behind greenhouse effect is that light come in from the sun and warms the surface of the Earth. The warmed Earth radiates at a what is called its blackbody radiation frequency. Most of that radiation escapes into space, but it is absorbed and scattered by organic (Greenhouse) gases, thus preventing some of the heat from escaping. This causes the Earths net heat balance to change. It takes a very long time for the new balance to be achieved, so if the CO2 level would level off today it would take many decades for the surface temperature of the Earth to become very near its new heat balance.

Answer 3

You get warmer you would suffocate in relation to the northern hemisphere the climate would be the same more or less just a couple of latitude degrees higher. you would melt the poles, villages that near see would drown, sahara would get to europe, has USA is a huge mass of land it wouldbecome a desert it self, you would try to emigrate to canada. The polution canada would have already suffer due to the states would probably kill, the average life time would decrease big time

Answer 4

Carbon MONoxide (CO not CO2) errodes the ozone layer (O3). The stuff that comes out of your tail pipe. Increasing it errodes more of the ozone layer, contributing to global warming. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is stable, consumed by plants, and generally helpsome.

Answer 5

if we try to increase co2 then initially temp. will rise ,we woll fell hot. but soon equilibrium between co2 & o2 will be attained

Answer 6

You make me sweat! It goes hotter!

Answer 7

we'll feel hot and suffocate to death, if not drown (global-warming and ice-cap melting).

Answer 8

You die !
