The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stayed constant for thousands of years because of the carbon cycle, which moves carbon throughout the air, oceans and land. There was also no burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and nobody had cut down the great forests of the world.

How does respiration affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration, breathing, has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This extra gas is increasing in the atmosphere.
What planet with the greatest amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
earth
Does global warming result from human actions that increase amount of water vapor in atmosphere?
No, global warming results from humans increasing the amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There is a certain amount of water vapor in the atmosphere that remains fairly constant and is part of the natural water cycle. In other words, human actions can not increase the water vapor in the atmosphere.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)

What is the amount of atmosphere on Mars?
The atmosphere is very thin and is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.
What would a volcano do to atmosphere?
When it erupts, it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting it.

What happens when there is great amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
What atmosphere contains a large amount of carbon Dixie?
Assuming you mean "carbon dioxide", the atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide.
The amount of energy the atmosphere absorbs depends on its level of?
Carbon Dioxide
What effects increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Cars and factories.
