Firstly where does this figure of 33.5 billion tonnes come from, I doubt it's from an accurate source, at best it's an estimate upwardly adjusted to be on the safe side I suspect. Even so, on a global scale 33 billions tons is insignificant. Whether the climate has actually changed at all is currently under debate, whether change is harm full is also debatable, history says it isn't. Most importantly remember that proof that climate changes is not proof that carbon 'did it'. Anyone who states otherwise has zero understanding of the scientific method and is just promoting political ideologies. ps Here's a question , how many times can a warmer change their minds , for example lol sceptic ;- Changes in the Sun affect temperature warmer :- The Sun's output has been constant for millenia And then a few years later sceptic :- global temperatures have plateaued or even fallen warmer :- well the Sun's output has declined and offset the co2. I don't really think these people have a clue what they're supposed to be saying any more.

I know that there is much oxygen in the air, and as we exhale CO2, I realized that there will be much CO2, but 6.1 billion tonnes! i never imagined it to be that much! This must tell u how cruel we are wen it comes to the environment, this CO2 results from waste gases of cars and factories and the decreased number of trees. Hope that ur information wakes ppl up.

Actually its a lot more than that......
The average mass of the atmosphere is 5000 trillion metric tons (5,000,000 billion tonnes or simply 5x10^15 metric tons). Carbon Dioxide is about 383 parts per million (0.0383%).
5,000,000 billion tonnes times 0.0383% is :
1,915 billion tonnes of CO2, which is nowhere near 6.1 billion.

Considering that CO2 only accounts for approximately 0.033% of the atmospheric gases, I'm not too worried.
Oxygen accounts for 20.947% of the gasses in the atmosphere, which, if your math about the 6.1 billion tons of CO2 is correct, means there is 3.8 Trillion tons of O2 floating around above us.

well it is a nice data but every second in world we are increasing CO2 in tones so be aware now it will be much more than it
