What are the main sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and what can we do to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Bring into your discussion the carbon cycle, a discussion of Venus and Mercury, the evidence for human impact on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and its impact on climate (refer to any graphs you need to), and ways in which scientists have recommended limiting climate change.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is correct? For about 800,000 years prior to human influence it varied between 180 and 300 ppm and is now above 410 ppm. For about 800,000 years prior to human influence it never exceeded 200 ppm.
