Reply to comment by furtherdimensions in eli5: Since CO2 is increasing in the atmosphere, does that mean O2 or other gases are decreasing ? by Ok_Gas_6560

We turned solid stuff (Hydrocarbons) into atmosphere. CO2 and H20

The volume of both of those things in the atmosphere has increased.

There are literally tons of Carbon released into the atmosphere and while it will come down eventually we do have more atmosphere than before.
