consisting of one carbon atom and two
oxygen atoms. This molecule is a common

the Earth's atmosphere as a gas. Carbon
Dioxide is also required by plants for
photosynthesis in which the molecule
is used in combination with water to
create cellulose and sugars.

and therefore maintain heat retention
in the atmosphere of the planet. Much

a clear insulating blanket, allowing
the sun's energy to warm the atmosphere
but not allowing the Earth to radiate
some of that heat back into space.

Global Warming refers to the actions
taken by individuals or corporations
to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions
in order to minimize their effects on

wealth or resources solely dedicated
to the improvement of society as a whole.

dictates that these entities should
contribute at least a small amount of
resources to the general well being
of humanity.
