The Carbon Cycle

CO2 Concentration

Carbon in the Atmosphere C + O2 → CO2 The effect of increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is predicted by the theory of greenhouse gases "According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)…the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8°Celsius (1.4°Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade." - http://www.giss.nasa.gov/
