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.

We killed nearly all the sperm whales. So their poop is no longer fertilizing the plankton (it was their main source of iron). The end result is there is way less plankton now than 300 years ago.

It is logical to assume that less plankton absorbs less CO2. The health of our oceans is precarious at best, and pretending that we can rely on plankton to clean up our messes is simply wrong.

Well, plankton is still the largest consumer. You can research this on your own.

It is safe to produce more food (CO2) for it, it will consume it.

So yes, we can rely on plankton to clean up THAT "mess".

CO2 is not an issue.
