The carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the Cretaceous were 1,700 parts per million. That is 6 times the modern pre-industrial level (the amount of CO2 before the industrial revolution). The higher CO2 levels may have been partially responsible for the warm average temperature during the Cretaceous (4 C [7.6 F] above modern temperature).

How does CO₂ it affect the temperature of the earth?
There is now evidence that co2 and temperatures are not related. There was a period when the two were related, in other words, the temps rose as co2 levels did. But other times co2 rose, and temps dropped.
Does the air have more or less carbon dioxide in it?
CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution. i t depends. Note that the CO2 levels of Earth's atmosphere have varied considerably over the course of its existence. For example: CO2 levels during the Cretaceous period are estimated to have been about 6 times what they are right now.
