How many tons of carbon emissions does it take to raise the temperature of the earth by one degree?
Yellowsubmarine
Answer 1:
530,000 million tons of annual carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Answer 2:
The number I have calculated and seen widely reported elsewhere is closer to 30 billion tons, or only 30,000 million tons, at least from human activity.

∙ 15y agoWho cares? Carbon emissions aren't causing "global climate change" anyway. The earth's climate has changed dramaticly in the past way before there were any man-made machines. It's doing it again regardless of what we humans do or don't do.

∙ 14y agoYou get a tonne of carbon dioxide for every 300 kg. or so of carbon you burn. This could come from 400 liters of automotive fuel, 300 kg. of coal, 500 kg. of dry wood or 1000 m3 of gaseous fuel.

How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the Earth's natural cycle of temperature change?
Temperatures are becoming higher than expected. [APEX]
What is the name of phenomenon because of which the earth's atmospheric temperature is increasing?
carbon di oxide
What is the average carbon footprint per household per year in the us?
The UK produces about two per cent of the world's CO2 emissions. Only two per cent of the UK's CO2 emissions derive from private motorised transport.
How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
When the sun hits the earth at 180 degree angle what is the earth's temperature?
I'm afraid that's too general, since the temperature around the world would vary from place to place.
How are carbon dioxide emissions affecting the Earth's natural cycle of temperature change?
Temperatures are becoming higher than expected. [APEX]
What are green house emission?
There are four different greenhouse emissions that help to reduce the emissions on the earth. These four include methane, carbon dioxide, fluorinated gases and nitrous oxide.
Do carbon dioxide moderates the temperature or not?
Yes, carbon dioxide absorbs heat and moderates the temperature. That is why it is one of a important gas on the Earth
What is the earth's temperature with carbon dioxide?
global warming you fooles
How do carbon emission lead to global warming?
Carbon emissions present in atmosphere and presence of glass in a nursery acts in similar manner. Heat waves from sun towards earth in the form of longer wavelengths and are allowed by glass or carbon emissions to pass through them, but when the heat waves gets reflected or emitted by earth's surface or any surface placed under glass, they are in the form of short wavelengths which are not allowed to pass through the carbon emissions or glass thereby increasing the temperature as they get trapped inside. The same theory can be used to explain why a car whose all windows are rolled up gets heated more quickly as compared by the car with the windows rolled down.
What are carbon emissions a part of?
Carbon dioxide and monoxide are byproducts of combustion. You also breathe out carbon dioxide. The gases go into the atmosphere and play a (only partially-understood) role in the earth's climate.
What is the temparuture on earth?
the average surface temperature on earth is 59oC (o means degree)
What are the solution to slow down global warming?
Cease all carbon emissions and the Earth will slowly heal itself.
How does carbon footprints affect the environment?
Carbon footprint, as defined by Wikipedia is "is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product" [1] or the amount of carbon dioxide emitted. Less carbon footprint will affect the earth because the earth will be cooler if there is less carbon footprint.
Venus contains high amounts of carbon dioxide would its temperature be higher or lower than the temperature of earth?
because the amounts of earth is
What state is carbon dioxide on earth?
Carbon dioxide can be a solid, liquid or gas. At standard temperature and pressure it is a gas.
What is an opinion statement supported by facts?
"The Earth's temperature is rising due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, as shown by scientific data from temperature records and atmospheric measurements."
