Please explain how humans are altering the global carbon cycle and how this is impacting global atmospheric temperatures?
Humans impact the global carbon cycle in harshly manner.
Human cut the tree for their habitation, industrialisation. The cutting of tree decreases the rate of photosynthesis. The CO2 is not absorbed by the plants because of deforestation. This leads to increase the carbon dioxide in the atomsphere.
Human also increases carbon dioxide in atmosphere by burning of fossils. The CO2 is released from vehicle amd industries.
In this way, the CO2 is found more in atomsphere. This leads to create imbalance in the global carbon cycle.
We know CO2 is the main gas for global warming. The CO2 traps the gamma radiation which is reflected back the atmosphere. The trapping of gamma radiation leads to increase the atmospheric temperature.
