CO2 emission is increasing day by day

Due to various human activities CO2 is accumulated in the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in climatic change global warming. Rising temperature expands the ocean volume in two ways- firstly, it melts mass volume of ice of the polar region and secondly, it causes thermal expansion of water of the ocean. These two factors increase volume of ocean water of the earth and cause sea level rise. U.S. and European researchers said carbon dioxide emissions are growing faster, despite efforts to curb the release of CO2. The Global Carbon Project said anthropogenic CO2 emissions have been growing about four times faster since 2000 than during the previous decade. Carbon released from burning fossil fuels and producing cement increased 2.9 percent in 2007 to 8.47 gigatons, The Washington Post (NYSE:WPO) said. Deforestation in tropical countries has added an estimated 1.5 billion tons of emissions to the atmosphere, the report said."This new update of the carbon budget shows the acceleration of both CO2 emissions and atmospheric accumulation are unprecedented and most astonishing during a decade of intense international developments to address climate change," Pep Canadell, executive director of the Global Carbon Project, said Thursday in a statement.
