Yes, I agree that the excess CO2 that we have today is making the earth warmer. THAT is NOT a GOOD thing! It is a VERY bad thing. because of TODAY'S global warming, farmers in South America are migrating north to the US and adding to population pressure...........because we are the number 2 polluter in the world. That will make more pollution going to the upper atmosphere and thus more HEATING of the earth. The US may end up in a Climate Heating feedback loop (like a tightening vise) that we can't extract ourselves from. it is a bad situation for the US and a bad situation for the migrants.
Meanwhile, poor farmers and goat herders of central Africa are TODAY migrating toward Europe. Again, bad for the migrating people and BAD for Europe.
Please don't tell me that EXCESS CO2 is good for either the land or the oceans. I know better. I know a TRAIN WRECK when I see one developing.
