Answer:

When people use fossil fuels to power industries, power plants, automobiles, and trucks, the majority of the carbon is released into the atmosphere as CO2. The combustion of fossil fuels releases 5.5 billion tons of carbon per year. 3.3 billion tons of this huge quantity remains in the atmosphere.
