Description | ||
| The problem with increased CO2 is its affect on global warming. CO2 is not a pollutant but it does trap infrared heat from radiating back into space. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. This global warming then affects global ecosystems by having effects on water vapor and other climate features. If CO2 levels continue to rise, the results to the planet are difficult to gauge. Some scientists believe that ocean levels may rise, ice caps could melt, droughts could occur, climates may change, and that life in general would be greatly affected. | ||
