To determine: The approximate atmospheric concentration of CO2 in 2100.
Introduction: Carbon dioxide contributes to about 0.03% of the total atmospheric gases. In recent years, the concentration of CO2 is increasing in the atmosphere and the main reason behind the increase in the atmospheric CO2 is the burning of fossil fuels. The increasing level of CO2 is the main cause of global warming.
To determine: The effect of the increase in the CO2 level on the environment.
Introduction: Increase in the level of CO2 is one of the major side effects of industrialization. CO2 contributes about 0.03% towards the atmospheric gases but after industrialization, there is a significant increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. The current rate of increase in the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere is 2.2 ± 0.1 ppm.
