By combining with oxygen in different proportions.........

Explanation:

$^{-} C \equiv O^{+}$ $""^(-)C-=O^(+)$ , and $O = C = O$ $O=C=O$ are both common carbon oxides. More exotic carbon oxides exist including $C_{3} O_{2}$ $C_3O_2$ , $carbon suboxide$ $"carbon suboxide"$ , i.e. $O = C = C = C = O$ $O=C=C=C=O$ , but it's not something that would last very long.
