A 'build up of carbon dioxide'? . . . our atm. is not even at 10% CO2 . .. not 1% . . .not 0.1% . . . but somewhere around an increase from 0.034% to maybe 0.038%CO2 in the earths atmosphere. --oh no. . . the CO2 levels are now (maybe) 0.004% atm extra.







Seriously, do people not know that plants work hard to scrub the air of CO2 as part of a carbon cycle? ...CO2 is plant food -- photosynthesis and all -- and there is not much of the stuff making up our atmosphere. (even with the large portion of decaying plant material, and the small percentage (un-natural) man makes.) ... less than 0.04% of our atm.

Yet the article repeats "carbon dioxide build up" . . . as if to say "be afraid . . be very afraid..we don't know how this is going to screw us, so be afraid if the build up."
