Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The primary source for the rising carbon dioxide levels is not respiration of the Earth's growing population. Carbon dioxide is primarily released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, as well as through deforestation and land use changes. While human respiration does release CO2 into the atmosphere, it is a much smaller factor compared to the other sources mentioned above. The amount of CO2 released by human respiration is balanced by the amount absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.
