Solution

The major problem related to carbon dioxide is its increasing concentration in the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Excess carbon dioxide, released mainly by burning fossil fuels, industries, vehicles, and deforestation, traps more heat in the atmosphere. This strengthens the greenhouse effect and causes global warming and climate change.

As a result, the world is facing problems such as rising temperatures, melting glaciers, sea-level rise, changes in rainfall, droughts, floods, and damage to ecosystems and agriculture.
