If people are so concerned about CO2, it's so easy to solve:
Plant trees. 1T trees will soak all the CO2 released since industrial revolution. There are studies conclusively proving this. Simple and cheap and great for the ecosystem.
The lowest level of CO2 known in the past 500,000,000 years (since "life as we know it" began, was 18,000 years ago. At that time, nearly ALL plant life went extinct. There is a level (around 150 pbb, IIRC) that would make all plant life go extinct, and if all the plants die, then so do all the animals.
For some unkown reason, CO2 levels started to rise, and have been rising since. But we are still at VERY low levels, historically. There was 2,000 times more CO2 in the atmostphere 500,000,000 years ago, when life was exploding into new forms.
The oceans store and release CO2, as the Earth's atmosphere needs. It is not know how this works, but it does. Since the industrial revolution (just 200 years or less), CO2 levels have been rising (from dangerously low levels), and that is likely man-made in part. But it is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing.
(1) The lowest level of CO2 was 18,000 years ago. But the levels today are still extremely low. There was 2,000 times more CO2 in the atmostphere 500,000,000 years ago (Cambrian Explosion) than today.
(2) The idea that carbon gets "locked up" in "fossil fuels" is a myth. There is no such thing as a "fossil fuel" and it is a myth that dead dinosaurs and other previous living things are "locked up in them." It is simply petroleum, not "fossil fuels." Petroleum is a naturally-occuring liquid within the Earth (2nd only to water). It is created when calcium carbonate and iron oxide are pressed together under high temperature and high pressure. This has been known by the Russians for decades.

The end.
We do NOT want less CO2.

Meanwhile where I live they're still chopping down forests to build yet another data center or Amazon warehouse and not a single leftard complains.
