Verified by Experts

CO 2 ​ is a harmful gas that contributes to air pollution and global warming. CO 2 ​ is a gas that is consumed by plants and trees for photosynthesis, so the amount of carbon dioxide is reduced in the atmosphere, and in return they give oxygen. But with time industrialization is happening at speed and trees are being cut at an enormous rate so the level of carbon dioxide is increasing, eventually resulting in the increase in the trapping of the heat on earth only, which is increasing earth's temperature at an alarming rate.
