Aaaaaack! Now there’s not enough CO2!!!???

Which of course, wouldn’t matter.
THis is what I have been saing for decades as a thought experience to expose the CO2 myth.
IF they suddenly claimed global temperatures were dropping and a new glacial period was a threat, what do you think we would do to try to mitigate the cooling?
What they wouldn’t suggest is to emit as much CO2 in the atmopshere as possible.
The reason is that it wouldn’t work.
CO2’s greenhouse properties are both negligible as well as transient.
Correct. As always, the insane Left is 100% wrong on everything. ALL plant life maximizes growth and photosynthesis between 750 and 1500ppm, depending on species. Every greenhouse on earth pumps in elevated levels of CO2. I would have my students call any local greenhouse to verify this simple fact. The Left is SO easy to debunk, and yet the gaslighting is eternal. We get MORE crops, MORE flowers, MORE trees, MORE natural grasses, and MORE life at elevated CO2, not less.
By the way, the FAR FAR more interesting fact is that, while CO2 is increasing, and "too much" CO2 is a bad thing (that level is above 5000ppm, for humans and mammals... at 422 ppm, growing at 1.8ppm/yr, we will get there in 2543 years... not the year 2543, in 2543 years... the year 4568)... and the oceans contribute MANY times more CO2 than all of human activity, so if you REALLY care about CO2 emissions, you'd be for attacking the problem from the main source first.
But the FAR FAR more interesting fact is that O2 has been growing MUCH faster, and "too much" O2 is just as deadly as CO2... make one phone call to any scuba diver, and get that fact verified as well... CO2 is only up parts per million over the last century, but O2 is up many parts per THOUSAND!!!
And then you have to wonder, if O2 and CO2 are rising, which atmospheric elements are in decline? Air is mostly Nitrogen (78%), then Oxygen (21%), and then Argon (0.9%), and then trace amounts of lots of others. Is slightly less Argon or Nitrogen even more dangerous than changes to O2 and CO2? Are the trace elements disappearing, and if so, do we desperately need them?? Any REAL scientist would be asking these questions. I've never seen or heard of anyone even mentioning these realities.
The scary thing is that we are entering the tech era where we can actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere.It is beginning, not yet enough to affect the % but it will continually increase. The Law of Tech Progress says if a thing can be done it will be done regardless of benefit or liability. We will reach the poiin that complex life no longer survives because procsses will be working that cannot be shut off.
