The concept of carbon dioxide is directly linked to its atmospheric concentration, which serves as a primary metric for defining climate change boundaries [1], a subject of long-term monitoring [2], and a key driver of global temperature rise {fact:3, fact:5} resulting from anthropogenic emissions [3].

measurementCurrent climate models predict a 1.5–4.5°C rise in Earth's temperature if atmospheric CO2 concentration is doubled, as cited in work by Kabeyi and Oludolapo (2020a; 2020b).
claimRoger Revelle and Hans Suess stated in 1957 that the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide constituted a large-scale geophysical experiment with unknown consequences that should be monitored and controlled.
claimAnthropogenic sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide include fossil fuel combustion for power generation, transportation, industrial activities, and domestic activities, according to Lindsey (2021).
claimIncreased atmospheric carbon dioxide is responsible for approximately two-thirds of the total energy imbalance and temperature rise.
