Carbon dioxide is the top gas contributing to climate change, making up 43.1% of all greenhouse gasses contributing to climate change. CO2 is actually found in our atmosphere naturally, helping to keep our planet at a nice moderate temperature. However, humans are adding huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, almost 90 million tons every single day! Now, because of the heightened amount of CO2 in our atmosphere too much heat is being trapped and in turn leading to climate change.
