featured a diagram illustrating photosynthesis, with a plant using light and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and carbohydrates.It was shared over 500 times in two weeks.carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis, plants, and other natural processes can absorb only about half of the CO2 emitted yearly. The excess CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels is what contributes to global warming.
As such, the global average carbon dioxide set a new record high in 2022: 417.06 parts per million, increasing the atmospheric CO2 to be 50 percent higher than it was before the Industrial Revolution. — the United Nations body established to assess the science related to climate change — modern humans have never before seen the observed changes in our global climate, and some of these changes are irreversible over the next hundreds to thousands of years.
Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for many decades, mainly due to greenhouse gases – one of which includes CO2 – produced by human activities.Moore’s claim that excess carbon dioxide is not a threat to the atmosphere is false. Plants alone cannot absorb the amount of carbon dioxide that is trapped in the air.
