Why would increasing temp cause increasing CO2 ?

Are we not teaching science anymore?

Increasing temperature will increase the speed of chemical reactions. It also increases the rate of respiration. Of course the world is more complicated than this but .......... Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that increases along with respiration. Almost all plants are c02 starved.

I can't figure out whether you're disagreeing with me or adding other possible factors.
