They don’t thrive on CO2. They are MADE of CO2 as are we. Every living organism is made of CO2. If you want to see what it is like without go to the Sahara where the CO2 is supplanted by SiO2 (silica sand).

Wow. The process is photosynthesis. All organic matter is constructed from carbon dioxide. The plant consumes the CO2 from the air and turns it into cellulose.

Question: what are you made of???
Answer: Carbon dioxide.
ALL living thing are made from CO2.
The process is photosynthesis it causes airborne CO2 to react
H2O in the atmosphere to create living matter and in the process return the excess oxygen to the atmosphere. It is essence of all life.

The cycle of life has CO2 from the air being converted to solids (trees, grass, algae etc). In that process the excess oxygen (note 1 carbon, 2 oxygen) is released back into the air. It would be fatally unwise to mess with this chemistry!
Their experience with opium over the centuries led to zero tolerance. The genius who created the modern Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew is probably the greatest national leader in history!
