Good thing we have this extra CO2 to accelerate production of carbon based fuel for all other life forms dependant on photosynthetic conversion of the inorganic into organic for food and breathable oxygen.
Perhaps I should say photosynthesis instead - in the dumbed down colleges and universities of today students are only required to remember that the Krebs Cycle means photosynthesis - not what photosynthesis is.

We need to cut down on all this dang CO2 - them plants are getting too uppity.
