Question

Carbon dioxide is not a poisonous gas still and increase in its amount in the atmosphere is harmful why explain

Answer 1

An excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is dangerous because of the following facts-

• THE GREENHOUSE GAS - we know that carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases which help in maintaining the temperature of the earth so as to support life on it. but the increase in CO2 has to lead to extra absorption of radiations from the sun which results in raising the temperature of the earth and eventually resulting in global warming.

• the release of CO2 in oceans due to industrial reasons has made the oceans 30% more acidic.

hence it's really important that we control the amount of CO2 in the the the atmosphere.
