Humans are one of the prime contributors of carbon dioxide through various day to day activities. A lot of human …show more content…
They are caused through Oceans, Soil, plants, animals and volcanoes. The natural sources emit the CO2 as a by-product mostly but, these sources are again balanced by nature with different methods, but with the increment in human activities, it is hard for the nature to balance the gases from which there is an effect known as Global warming. Surprisingly, Oceans are the largest sources of carbon dioxide, which is through ocean-atmosphere exchange. It contributes to about 42.84% of carbon gas in the total emissions from natural sources and annually emits about 330 billion tons of carbon which is the highest by any natural source. But it’s not all bad as oceans also absorb a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Dumping of wastes and sewage dissolving in the ocean can also cause carbon emission. Plants and animals emit carbon dioxide in different ways. Plants use this gas for making its food through photosynthesis [D], whereas the animals emit the CO2 as a byproduct for producing the energy. These both have a percentage of 28.56% emission of the carbon gas and annually emit about 220 billion tons of carbon dioxide. The other natural source is soil. It emits carbon gas through respiration [B] and decomposition [C]. It has a share of 28.56% in the total emission of carbon dioxide by nature. The organisms which live in the soil uses respiration to produce energy for their survival. Lastly the …show more content…
Some of these can be reduced by using alternative methods in place of daily human activities. Global warming is a harsh reality and it has to be taken seriously. Inability to deal with these can result in adverse effects. These effects are considered to be serious as it makes the environment harsher for humans to live in for the coming generations. We need to work towards reducing carbon emissions to bring balance in the natural order and help in building a future where our children will be able to live a regular
