The burning of fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere hundreds of millions of years ago.
Other carbon dioxide sources include volcanoes, bush fires, . The decaying of dead plants and animals also releases carbon dioxide and methane. Carbon dioxide is released by cellular respiration in plants (at night) and from all living animals. The production of waste CO2 by microscopic animals in the ocean is a substantial amount.
