Burning carbon requires oxygen (O2), and when we burn an atom of carbon, the required oxygen becomes part of the CO2 molecule. So if the CO2 increase is caused by burning carbon (fossil fuels), we would expect atmospheric O2 levels to decrease at the same rate. And that's indeed what we observe (Figure 1).
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 and bush fires. A: The single largest factor for increasing atmospheric CO2 is the burning of fossil fuel. Human beings release 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year from fossil sources. Over the decades this has lead to an increase from 280 parts per million to now over 390 ppm of CO2.
