re: I know "climate change" and CO2 are the bad guys. But I have a question.

Hmm, what if another form of life is dependent upon CO2 for its existence, and it turns that CO2 into oxygen? Wouldn’t that be the craziest thing ever!

All of this is cute, but it does not rise to the level of critiquing the left's climate change narrative.

Their argument is;

- The CO2 quantity in the atmosphere is, and has been, increasing due to burning fossil fuels. This is unquestionably true.
- This increase is causing the earth to warm faster than it otherwise would. This is almost certainly true, but not proved.
- This man-made component of global warming is the dominant cause of the current warming of the globe. This is sketchy at best.
- The warming is accelerating so rapidly that we are doomed by the end of this century if we don't radically de-carbonize our energy supply NOW. This is almost certainly false. Thirty years ago they said doomsday was 2025, or 2050 at the latest, so they have already radically shifted the goalposts.

As you can see from the above, flora, though a mitigator of excessive CO2, is not keeping up.
