All of you were making great points.

Planting more plants/trees is certainly a desirable solution.

This mineral can be used to absorb just some of the “excess” CO2.

But this is vastly preferable to shutting down entire industries in the name of fighting global warming.

Tell me what is the right/safe/correct PPM of CO2 with or without mankind intervention.

Since you cannot, what is considered excess CO2?

You'll have to define "excess" carbon dioxide. Most of the carbon dioxide that was in the atmosphere has already been locked into rocks like limestone and chalk, or petroleum as the result of biological processes. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere used to be about ~2500 parts per million. Natural processes took most of that away until during the last ice age it was down to 180ppm, so low that plants could barely use photosynthesis. (Photosynthesis stops around 150 ppm CO2, and everything dies except the microbes living deep underground or on the sea floor.)

Warming up from the ice age and the entire industrial revolution has put enough CO2 into the atmosphere to be at about 400ppm. That's not "excess", that's barely even a safety margin. I'd consider the minimum safe range to be at least 1000ppm.

What could possibly go wrong?! There Is No Global Warming From CO2! Glaciation and melting are natural cycles. I reject their BS premise.

There IS no “excess” co2. The earth is a dynamic system that self-regulates. That’s why co2 levels have changed throughout history.

Only if your stupid enough to by into the Global Warming scam.

As for me, I’ll stick to real science without the left-wing, Marxist agenda.
