Costa Rica's Cave of Death is a stable pool of nearly 100% fatal carbon dioxide posing a threat to any animal that enters

How does that even happen? And why doesn’t grass grow like a motherfucker in that particular spot? 😂
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.
Wow, intense!
Volcanic area adjacent to a subduction zone, so I'd guess its CO2 that was dissolved in ancient seawater, or bound into ancient limestone that is decomposing in contact with magma.
No sufficient sun light, and probably no bacteria in the soil either, because CO2 is acid. That's why carbonated water lasts forever.
I lost several of my college friends die to fatsl carbon dioxide exposure in a cave. I still need to come to understand that I had moved so I was not there. Part of the party turned back and made it safe, but sadly some of them just felt sleep. It took me years to feel confortable around or close caves.
