Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are rising due to the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation, which releases previously trapped CO2 and reduces photosynthesizing biomass.
Las concentraciones atmosféricas de CO2 están aumentando debido a la quema de combustibles fósiles y la deforestación, que libera CO2 previamente atrapado y reduce la biomasa fotosintetizadora.
| Front | why CO2 levels rising |
|---|---|
| Back | global CO2 concs increasing in atm due to; - combustion of fossil fuels (CO2 released into atm from C previously trapped) - deforestation (reduces photosynthesising biomass from earth, which dec CO2 removed from atm, also if burn forrest, lots of CO2 released into atm) |
