[QUOTE="tyler durden, post: 3114790, member: 52"] Okay, sure. I’ll play this game, too. To summarize that all the changes being caused on earth due to vast amounts of carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere is “[I]thinking carbon dioxide is a toxin[/I]” IS absolutely reductive — don’t play coy. Plants don’t “like“ carbon dioxide any more than they crave the electrolytes in Brawndo. And humans don’t “prefer“ oxygen. In both cases the very nature of plant life and animal life require that respiration. One isn’t good, one isn’t bad. Symbiosis is indeed an incredible thing and why it is so catastrophic when the system gets thrown out of balance by burning a vast quantity of fossil fuel since the 18th century. Not only has there been an imbalance by the burning of fuel, there’s been no attempt to counter it with an infusion of oxygen. In fact, if anything, humans make matters worse by unprecedented deforestation. In the end, the earth obviously doesn’t care one way or another — it’s just a planet. It’s seen innumerable changes in its 4.5 billion years. There have been five mass extinction events — in one where like 98% of life in the oceans were extinguished and 70% of life on land. Will the one caused by humans be that bad, or worse? And will humans be one of the few species to survive it? [/QUOTE]
