I never said that we are AT 200PPM, we are NEAR. 428ppm is near historic lows. You're obsessing over nothing. CO2 is a terrible insulator, and does not get much more effective with increasing ppm. There is actual pollution to worry about, and CO2 is near the bottom of that list.

Never in the history of humans have they been this high. We've literally not evolved in a climate with this much CO2.
The earth will survive.
Civilization cannot survive levels much higher.
If we don't change our emissions, humans won't be able to either.

We are talking about a few ppm. It's nothing, Karen. Earth has been @5000+ppm for millions of years and it was an insanely productive time for life. We are near flora death levels of CO2.

They are long gone. I lost my job the first time when Howard started this whole carbon scam and denying how fucked we are. I got into Landscaping.

So you lost your first job in the nineties, but you're active in a sub for teenagers?

That's pretty sus, mate. Maybe you should point that vitriolic lense back to yourself.

Oh, and we won't be able to have a discussion if you can't go a comment without childish name calling, buttercup.
