As the mass of the atoms in CO<sub>2<\/sub> is affected by gravity, CO<sub>2<\/sub> has a measurable weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human activity is producing too much CO<sub>2<\/sub> in our atmosphere which is having a devastating impact on our planet. As a result, the carbon cycle is becoming overloaded. The UK government has set a target of net zero carbon by 2050.

Almost all combustible fossil fuels (except pure hydrogen) have some variation of a hydrocarbon structure (you may know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crownoil.co.uk\/guides\/alkanes-table\/\">the alkanes<\/a> from school), which means they all have a degree of carbon content in their unburnt form.
