Carbon dioxide increase causes air pollution deaths. Each degree Celsius rise in temperature caused by increased carbon dioxide levels could cause about 1,000 deaths from air pollution each year in the US, says Mark Jacobson of Stanford University, US. The gas boosts concentrations of surface ozone, particles and carcinogens, all of which are detrimental to human health.
The Science Behind Human-induced Climate Change. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are higher today than at any time in at least the past 650,000 years. They are about 35% higher than before the industrial revolution, and this increase is caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, as are methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and a host of other trace gases. They occur naturally in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket for infrared radiation, retaining radiative energy near the surface that would otherwise escape directly to space.
