carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so how there is a layer of CO2 is forming around the atmosphere?
Borek said:As far as I know there is no layer of CO2 forming around the atmosphere. Do you have any source to backup the claim?
Seniour Baloc said:Then what is the reason of Global Warming?
Carbon dioxide density refers to the amount of carbon dioxide present in a given volume of air. It is typically measured in parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb).
Carbon dioxide is distributed throughout the Earth's atmosphere, with higher concentrations found near the Earth's surface and lower concentrations found at higher altitudes. It is also more concentrated in certain areas, such as near industrial centers and areas with high rates of human activity.
As of 2021, the global average concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere is around 415 ppm. This is the highest level in at least 800,000 years.
The distribution of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is affected by a variety of factors, including human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, as well as natural processes such as respiration and photosynthesis in plants and ocean currents.
Monitoring carbon dioxide density is important because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. Understanding its distribution and changes over time can help scientists better understand and predict the impacts of climate change on our planet.
