Over this time period, atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) have notably increased.” Carbon dioxide is a gas that is formed in animal respiration and in the decay of animal and vegetable matter, it is also absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis. Although CO2 is often seen as something that is harmful, it is important for our habitat and the environment. CO2 is necessary because neither plants, animals, nor humans could survive, we must have plants for energy and food. Climate Change Debate says that, “the pro side argues rising levels of atmospheric
