Carbon dioxide is the second most important greenhouse gas, trapping heat in our atmosphere and increasing global temperatures via the greenhouse effect.

二氧化碳是第二大重要的温室气体，它阻止我们的大气散热，并通过温室效应增加全球温度。

Its surface has been cooked and dried by an ocean of carbon dioxide, trapped in the burning death grip of a runaway greenhouse effect.

它的表面已经被二氧化碳的海洋加热烘干，被失控的温室效应困在燃烧的死亡陷阱中。

The first bacteria, for instance, consumed carbon dioxide, removing it from the atmosphere and limiting the effect of this greenhouse gas.

举例说，最初的细菌消耗了二氧化碳，从大气中吸收了它并限制这一温室气体的作用。

The WMO data, meanwhile, confirms that atmospheric concentrations of the three gases principally responsible for the man-made component of the greenhouse effect - carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide - all rose during 2009.

Since both of these chemicals are more potent greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide, this effect, too, should help combat global warming.

Most of it is, of course, radiated back into space. (It is the partial blocking of this radiation by gases such as carbon dioxide that causes the much-talked-of greenhouse effect.) Some of it, however, goes in the opposite direction, into the ground.
