I've been to an industrial greenhouse. In fact, my job is a product development manager for a sensors manufacturer, and one of those sensors is an environment sensor built for greenhouses.
Do you know what one of their requests is?
They want a product that can sense CO2 levels, to make sure they don't rise above levels that return a lower quality crop yield.
Yes, CO2 is generally good for a plant. Conditions with too much CO2 and not enough other available nutrients causes many types of plants to suffer.
That's great. It's not a risk on global scale though. It's currently .04% of the atmosphere. Up from .03% a couple hundred years ago. Where did all the plants die? Are you arguing specific points just to argue or do you really think our planet is in danger of releasing too much CO2 into the atmosphere to the point that life on earth will actually be threatened?
Well I'm at least glad that you can recognize that too much CO2 is a bad thing! So we've got that part covered.
Now, how it affects things globally is trickier. Hard to test for that. What we are seeing though are changes already that can be attributed to increased CO2 levels. Dying corals, dried water reservoirs, etc are currently taking place. Are we dead yet? Nope! Will the world be a desolate wasteland by the time I die? Probably not! But in the coming generations, at this rate, the CO2 levels are affecting things in a way that we should minimize.
Where did all the plants die? It's not an overnight thing. Many plants have adapted and survived. Many others have become extinct in the wild.
Life on earth is already threatened. It's just not yours right now.
