We live in an environment that is surrounded by an atmosphere consisting of water vapour, Nitrogen, oxygen and minor gasses of which CO2 is one. CO2 makes up only .04% of these gases
These gases stabilise the environment and make it habitable for Humans (and all animal life for that matter). Many of us refer to it as a green house.
Animals breath in oxygen to convert fuel, mainly carbon compounds, into energy and give out CO2. We have a solar furnace 300000000 KM away (nice safe distance for nuclear energy) that allows vegetable life to extract the carbon from the CO2 and return the oxygen to the atmosphere with the help of a catalyst called chlorophyl. Other forms of energy producers also convert carbon and oxygen into CO2 to produce energy but vegetable life is very greedy. As a result it uses all the CO2 it can get to produce its "body". That is why CO2 does not rise to a level that would give any problems.
As for the so called green house being greatly inflenced by a gas that only constitutes .04% of its volume I have yet to see anyone actually provide proof that so little can do so much.
Of course there are two sides of the story both sides based on statistics. The believers say global warming is caused by CO2 and the other side says CO2 increases as the planet warms. Statisics support both views but statiscs is not science only a tool to aid in research.
There now take sides and we can battle it out.
