The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has played a major role in climate changes. Because of the burning of certain fuels in recent decades, there has been an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For now the climate remains somewhat the same, but the level of carbon dioxide could raise the average temperature. Many scientists have figured that the rise in temperatures is a result of the greenhouse effect. A report in 1990 by 170 worldwide scientists said the greenhouse effect could get worse unless the amount of carbon dioxide is lowered.
