I've often pondered this. If current CO2 levels are such a world catastrophe, why aren't we absolutely overgrown with flora all over the globe? You would think plants would be going bonkers and couldn't be contained. From what I gather we are currently at one of the lower levels of global CO2 based on historical numbers.

The world is actually greener because of higher CO2

Yep, plants are enjoying a slightly higher level of CO2, a bonus.

Nothing to worry about. CO2 gets consumed rather quickly by oceanic phytoplankton.

Methane is a more dangerous greenhouse effect gas, but I think it's within limits.

Still nice to have around given that we're due for a new little ice age.
