No kidding. Every green plant uses carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. A surfeit of CO2 would produce more lush forests, greener grass, all from more oxygen being infused into our atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 affects the environment differently from aqueous solutions of it in the water table or oceans... which is merely to say that it wouldn't affect oceanic algae production as much as it would land-based vegetation.

Nothing but plusses all around.

And at one time our planets atmosphere had very high concentrations of CO2 and plants DID thrive. But then nature balanced it out and the type of plants did not thrive because the CO2 lessened.

It is a cycle and from what I have read from scientists our planet has gone through the cycle several times. So....

Nothing to see here, move along, move along...

Nicely stated and further more——I have a treefarm. My trees need CO2. If these hide bound blowholes figure out a way to actually diminish natural CO2 I’ve always said I will start burning old tires until my trees look good again. I’m guessing this genius is a basement dweller who doesn’t actually get out much except to mail his green grant applications.
