Plants use CO2 to make a stored form of energy in the form of carbohydrates.
When plants are eaten, sugars are broken down, releasing carbon as waste- through respiration.
Dead plants decompose releasing carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere.
Underground, dead organisms are compressed with pressure and are converted to fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal.
Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have been burned to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide gas in the atmoshpere.
Deforestation reduces the storage of CO2.
