Planet Earth needs a substantial amount of carbon to maintain life. Without carbon, barren and eroded rocks would cover the land.

All of the carbon that enters life must circulate through the air to get from animals to plants. Since plants don't usually eat animals, the only way carbon can recycle back to plants is through the atmosphere.

One of the main problems is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere gets removed by oceans. Oceans are always saturated with calcium which attracts carbon dioxide from the air. Much of the calcium carbonate then precipitates out. The precipitated calcium carbonate takes the form of limestone.

That process almost removed all carbon dioxide from the air 300 million years ago. Trees just started to evolve at that time. Due to the shortage of carbon dioxide, the trees formed needly leaves which maximized surface area for absorbing carbon dioxide. So those trees evolved into conifers.

About then carbon dioxide in the atmosphere began to increase. The increase was due to tectonic plates getting thicker creating volcanoes which put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. After 100 million years of increase, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was about five times as much as now. Then dinosaurs evolved.
 

 
Dinosaurs too were shaped by the result. The reason why dinosaurs got so large is because they had to tromp through nonwoody brush which covered the lowlands and which they ate. With a lot of carbon dioxide in the air, the brush could use wide leaves for gathering sunlight and get very thick.

But even before the dinosaurs died out, carbon dioxide again began to disappear from the atmosphere. This time the reason was because tectonic plates got so thick that volcanic lava could not easily get to the surface, while oceans kept absorbing carbon dioxide and converting it into calcium carbonate and limestone, about like a calcium clock manufactured by nature.

With volcanoes dying down, the amount of carbon dioxide dropped to its present level of about 400 parts per million in the atmosphere. That amount is way too low to sustain the present amount of life on planet Earth. Greenhouse operators add three to five times as much carbon dioxide to the air in greenhouses to improve plant growth.

That means any increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere improves plant growth and biology in general. Why increase plant growth, when we are all going to die because of it? Because carbon dioxide killing people is nothing but fraud imposed onto society by know-nothings who don't allow criticism of their frauds.

If the last remaining carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were destroying planet Earth, the death would have occurred many times over in the past. Why not when carbon dioxide levels were five times as much during dinosaurs years, while life flourished? And why not when there was fifteen times as much when terrestrial life began?

Isn't there something strange about one molecule in 2,500 in the atmosphere destroying life, when it is at the lowest level in 500 million years and essential for life?

Isn't it strange that one molecule in 2,500 in the atmosphere is determining the weather and climate? The sun's energy striking the Earth is said to be 370 times as great as the (faked) claim of carbon dioxide heating. (1367 watts per squared meter vs 3.7 w/m²)

You say the sun's energy doesn't end up in the atmosphere. Tell that to the Texan's who are getting scorched. The carbon dioxide is at the same level in Texas as North Dakota; so why are the temperatures different?

The claim that nothing but carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) heats the atmosphere doesn't explain why air temperatures are different, when carbon dioxide levels are close to the same everywhere. Isn't that being ridiculous? It sure is; and that's why the claimed greenhouse effect is infantile stupidity.
