Vedclass · Answer

(A) $CO_{2}$ is a greenhouse gas. The concentration of $CO_{2}$ in the atmosphere is increasing due to the combustion of fossil fuels and the decomposition of limestone $(CaCO_{3})$ used in cement production.$CO_{2}$ molecules absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and re-emit it back towards the Earth,trapping heat in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect,which leads to an increase in global temperature,commonly referred to as global warming.
