I watched that instagram post about CO2 that you sent to me. My thoughts are that I reckon you should read up on the nature of different gases. They’re interesting. CO2 works in a similar way to how the colour black absorbs more heat than white. CO2 absorbs infrared radiation.
So like we need a certain amount of nutrients to maintain homeostasis, the ecosystems on the planet needs a certain amount of CO2 to maintain equilibrium. Human activity has shifted the equilibrium and ecosystems are changing because of that. There is some fascinating history in geological records that show different phases of the planet in relation to CO2 levels.
Venus is lethal because the gases in its atmosphere cause extreme heat.
I loved chemistry (I even went back to do some at uni after we met when we studied music together – what a nerd!) and I have no trouble accepting that releasing large amounts of CO2 changes the current equilibrium of earth.
Ecosystems especially oceans are changing – to what, who knows? Maybe Antartica will have forests again?
Try wikipedia on CO2

Yes, there’s definitely a lot of problems in this world with greed and cruelty. Rich and powerful people want to maintain that balance of power. Power comes from literally power – energy/ electricity etc.
So yes there’ll be corruption associated anywhere there’s money and energy.
But there’s no scientific conspiracy to lie about climate change to reduce CO2 just to take power away from fossil fuel companies.

I hope we can always keep talking…
