carbon dioxide buildup
Atmospheric CO2 increase
Carbon dioxide buildup is the accumulation of CO₂ in an enclosed space or system.
In poorly ventilated rooms, carbon dioxide buildup causes drowsiness and impaired thinking.
On a planetary scale, the term describes increasing atmospheric CO₂ from fossil fuel combustion—the primary driver of climate change: Scientists have tracked carbon dioxide buildup since the 1950s.
