Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in 2000 were around 370 ppm (parts per million). They are now (2013) approaching 400 ppm.

∙ 11y agoWhen form example showing the difference in each year of the increase of carbon dioxide. Does that answer your question or do i have to explain further??
It's your graduation year. The class of 2000 graduated in 2000.

2000 is a year, so it is considered one year.
Before 2000 was 1972 and after 2000 will be 2028.
Global carbon dioxide emissions in 2000 were approximately 24 billion metric tons.
In 1960, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere was around 315 parts per million (ppm). This translates to roughly 0.0315% of the total atmospheric composition.
On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Almost half the mass of a tree is carbon, taken from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. A tree only takes in carbon when it is growing, and the amount that a tree grows in a year varies from tree to tree. Old trees are bigger and grow more than young trees in a year, usually.
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into oxygen and glucose. This process helps to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, this reduction is temporary as plants release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration. Overall, photosynthesis helps to maintain a balance in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
The top CO2 emitters in 2000 were China, United States, Russia, India, and Japan. These countries accounted for the majority of global carbon dioxide emissions during that year.
Charles David Keeling discovered the gradual increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, now known as the Keeling Curve. This data provided crucial evidence for the theory of human-induced climate change.
When coal is burned, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and various other pollutants are released into the atmosphere.
The main reason for the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, which releases large amounts of CO2 into the air. Deforestation and other land use changes also contribute to the increase in carbon dioxide by reducing the capacity of forests and vegetation to absorb it.
Approximately 36 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere each year from burning fossil fuels. This significant amount of carbon dioxide is a leading contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Native tall grasses play an important role in the carbon cycle by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The deep root systems of tall grasses can store carbon in the soil for long periods of time, contributing to carbon sequestration. Additionally, when tall grasses are burned or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere, completing the carbon cycle.
Levels of carbon dioxide in the air reached 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04% this year (2013). This is the highest level in the past 500,000 years.
