    Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, while humans do the opposite. When trees and plants burn, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Burning wood releases carbon dioxide because wood is made up of carbon, and burning causes the carbon to bond with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide. High levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are harmful to humans as it can lead to global warming. The largest source of carbon emissions beyond forest fires comes from the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation.

    What Comes Out of a Fire?


    1. Think about it. Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon
    dioxide. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out what?

    2. When trees and other plants combust (burn), what gets released (put out)
    into the air (atmosphere)?
    ...
    3. Why do you think burning wood releases CO2 into the air?

    4. How much C02 is released into atmosphere by the USA each year?
    ...
    5. Think about it. Why is it bad for humans to have too much CO2 in the
    air?
    ...

    ...
    6. Carbon emissions means carbon dioxide gas that has been released into
    the atmosphere. Apart from forest fires, where do you think most of our carbon
    emissions come from?
    ...
