Currently we are living in a CO2 drought as measured by past geologic times. When CO2 levels were multiple times higher than today plant life flourished on earth and great beasts roamed the land and swamps and swam the seas due to much food.
Life flourishing on earth is directly related to CO2 levels as CO2 is plant food. The geologic record is clear on this point.
During the time of the Dinosaurs CO2 levels were several times greater than today. Life flourished and those dinosaurs had a lot of plants and other dinosaurs to eat.
245 million years ago we also had the great Permian extinction. Most terrestrial animal life perished as did most in the sea. At the same time was a CO2 drought. This was probably due to geology and the eruption of the Siberian and Deccan Traps. Massive amounts of lava over thousands of years occurred and changed the atmosphere.
CO2 plummeted and life died. After this CO2 levels rose to greater levels than today. This became the day of the dinosaurs.
Oddly today our CO2 levels are near the extinction levels in the Great Permian Die Out of Life.
In the Miocene we had a shark called Megladon. He is identical to our Great White Shark of today except he was about three times larger. He was larger because he had much available food that was also larger. CO2 was also much greater than. Life flourished then.
NASA Scientist Warns: The Lack Of Sunspots Could Bring Record Cold

The lack of sunspots on our sun could bring about record cold temperatures, and perhaps even a mini ice age. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Phillips, the editor of spaceweather.com. “The bad news,” according to Phillips, is: “It also delays the natural decay of space junk, resulting in a more cluttered environment around Earth.” “It could happen in a matter of months,” says Martin.
