Fun fact:
>Plants actually love a carbon dioxide rich environment and our planet is currently in the lowest amounts of airborne CO2, ever.
Not get me wrong, whilst we are damaging our environment and need to be more careful, CO2 isn't the demon here.

CO2 is not the limiting factor for plant growth in most cases, and fast warming with more extreme weather will have negative effects on much of the ecology humans rely on.
Now could you really have not figured that out yourself or are you just shitposting?
it all has to do with the way light acts in our atmosphere
although the atmosphere looks transparent to humans, if you saw in infrared, the atmosphere would be a lot more cloudy, almost opaque
co2 is VERY opaque in the infrared, and this has the effect of trapping in infrared light (heat) and causing the surface of the planet to warm up, rather than allowing the heat to escape
any climatologists on here - feel free to improve on this
I'm a physicists, alright, dickhead?
mmhm
Water is good for you but you can still drown in it.
The ocean is one big buffer solution, too much CO2 makes that shit shift toward an acidic pH. Ruins ecosystems which eventually affects us.
It would be ok if they weren't chopping down large areas of forests in both tropical and boreal regions.
