Carbon Dioxide-CO 2. Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a kind of gas. There isn't that much carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, but it is still very important. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.That means it helps trap heat coming from the Sun in our atmosphere through the greenhouse effect.Without carbon dioxide in our air, the Earth would be very cold.hen humans and other animals breathe, we take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. We use the oxygen to get energy from food-this is called respiration. Burning things also makes lots of carbon dioxide. Natural fires like forest fires make carbon dioxide. Things that humans burn make CO 2, too.
