1      Breathed air contains more carbon dioxide(1) and less oxygen(1) than unbreathed air.

2      Gaseous exchange(1) occurs continuously between living things and the environment, through which living things take in oxygen(1) from and release carbon dioxide(1) to the environment. In humans, this process occurs inside the lungs(1).

3      Some of the heat from the Sun is trapped by certain gases in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect(1). This effect is now excessive, leading to the average temperature of the atmosphere to rise. This phenomenon is known as global warming(1).
