Describe how carbon dioxide (CO2) affects the climate.

• carbon dioxide (CO2) is a green house gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere warming the planet

• carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that reflects heat back into space cooling the planet

• carbon dioxide (CO2) is used by plants in photosynthesis and this releases heat and oxygen (O2)

• carbon dioxide (CO2) is used by plants in photosynthesis and this absorbs heat and releases oxygen O2
