Everyone probality know about the effect of CO2 Also we know as Carbon dioxyde. This gas was emitted by Cars, buses, plans, boats and etc. However, humans and animals also produce this gas naturally. As we inhale oxygen, we exhale CO2. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the gas CO2 itself. The problem is that we have produced such a big amount of CO2 due to human actions, that the amount of CO2 we find in the atmosphere is dangerous.

Over the years we have produced a lot of gas, oil and coal for the usage of our daily lives. With the production of those materials, CO2 emissions get into our clean air and cause an invisible layer around the earth. This layer keeps the heat inside the earth so to say, and that causes global warming. This process is also called the Greenhouse effect. The polar caps are melting and sea levels are rising, therefore it is time to make some changes in CO2 emissions

The amount of CO2 that you can find now in the air causes the earth to heat up. This process is called the Greenhouse effect. It is similar to what happens in a greenhouse. Let's say one is planting tomatoes in a greenhouse. To grow, tomatoes need sun and heat and those two things are difficult to find during the winter. Therefore, the greenhouse catches the heat and maintains it inside. Not all the radiation that falls inside is returned to the environment outside the greenhouse.

This is exactly what is happening with our planet today. Due to the layer of CO2 emission around our earth, the heat can't reflect back and gets absorbed by the earth. While the sun is hitting the earth every day, it also gets warmer every day.

Apart from that, there are many more consequences including;New kind of climates will appear in various countries. New kind of temperature such as much colder or way hotter will arise;Desertification will arise and the fertile ground will be lost. This means that more dry areas will appear in countries where it is already very hot ; Also, Acidification will arise. This means that seawater will get more acid and eventually will affect the coral reefs and species that live there. Especially coral reefs already are having a difficult time and due to climate change, the extinction will have a negative effect on our environment

Besides the effects mentioned above, there will be many more consequences of more CO2 emissions and will enhance further the Greenhouse effect. In which way and what size all depends on how we as humans continue to live and produce. The more the earth will warm up, the more consequences it will most likely have
