I still disagree with your premise that CO2 is finite and neither increases nor decreases
I like the premise of what you wrote and I think we agree that climate change/global warming is all BS
My research shows that there is a finite amount of carbon dioxide - there is an amount that is in the atmosphere, there is an amount in plant life and humans and there is an amount underground but the total is finite as I understand it
I think the argument is when underground carbon dioxide reaches the surface and warms the atmosphere and changes or alters the temperature.
While there is a certain amount of scientific logic to that, a volcano spews more carbon dioxide than humanity

Are you sure you aren't meaning to say a finite amount of carbon and oxygen atoms?

Confused by this statement. Carbon dioxide exists naturally, yes. It is also a product of combustion where long chain carbon molecules are oxidized into Co2 and Water. So, Co2 isn't finite, it can be created and it can be converted back to long chain carbon molecules through photosynthesis. You can also use it in chemical processes, for example you can use CO2 along with Natural Gas and a big assed reformer to make Methanol. You can also take it out of the air, compress it, and pump it into geological formations.
