Reply to comment by daniel in The U.S. could experience “off-the-charts” heat in under 20 years, thanks to climate change by ziq

You're correct, all those are pressing issues. However, adding CO2 can cause environmental collapse. Simply look at ocean acidification: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_acidification which leads to dead zones: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_zone_(ecology) like the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea:

Each and everyone exacerbate the other.

The amount of CO2 is not without effect, but the premise for it influencing climate and temperature in the concentrations discussed lacks a mechanism, and lacks experimental reproducability. The problem with planting trees and landfilling is that is helps solve the problem and doesn't allow the state to exert complete control over the people.

Not sure what kind of 'response' you're looking for... Are you saying that the Earth is not getting greener?
