That's one of the most stupid things scientists tell nowadays. I tell it again: There was never a time in earth history where there was such a low CO2 content than in the past 5 Mio. years. All scientists know that most climatic changes, even small ones, are quite fast. There is nothing to worry, only the necessity to adapt.

The amount of naturally produced CO2 is on average at least four times higher than human produced. The fluctuations of this production is extremely high (from about equal to human up to more than 20 times), nevertheless there is almost no fluctuation in graphs showing CO2 contents in the atmosphere.

This leads to a simple conclusion: Practically all produced CO2 is consumed by plants. This is done at least for the last 350 Mio. years, when plants spread over the whole earth and forrests became abundant.The remaining small value depends only on the temperature and the composition of earth's vegetation. For most plants the low CO2 amount of today is a serious threat to survive. Only plants with C4 or CAM metabolism don't have problems with that low content.

The scientists know all the facts, but they have to fight for money for research. Only those disciplines get enough which can prove great 'human relevance', Biology, Chemistry, Medicine. What to do? Create shock-scenarios: Kuno, the killer-carp is hunting you and bambi swallows up innocent walkers. That's nothing new, you have only to get accustomed to it.
