Why do we want to starve the plants and the trees of carbon dioxide in the photosynthesis process? Don't they supply us humans with the oxygen we need to live and breathe? Why is nobody speaking out against this huge conspiracy against the plants and the trees? It is going to destroy the planet! We only have 2,340 more years to live!
Certainly not trying to be contrarian; however, IIRC most of the oxygen supplied to us is from ocean plankton.
Libs are worried about the "lungs of the planet", aka the Amazon Rain forest, but it could disappear and it would have little impact on us. Actually, we could kill off every bush, tree, plant, etc on earth and we would be alright until they grew back.
PS. I'm not advocating for the destruction of plants or the environment. We have a responsibility to keep our air, water, and land clean and safe for use.
Other than being God's favorite creatures, we're pretty insignificant. We're not killing the planet. We can't. She'll keep spinning long after we're gone.
