Had a argument with a person on YouTube, he thought that increased CO2 in the atmosphere would be beneficial. It would help plants grow better!

Also that humans was not behind it.

It's not a problem! And if it is, it's not our fault. And even if it is, it was completely necessary.

You got it wrong, it's:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

(no not all conservatives/climate change deniers are narcissists but the overlap is interesting)

There's a lot of money pushing this idea. I live in a certain US state where an organization has been paying to have billboards up that push this idea for years now.

The most terrible thing is that it's a half truth. While yes plants grow better with increased CO2, the downsides are so destructive it is not at all beneficial.

They might grow bigger, but I don't think they grow better. Veritasium did a video about the increase in CO2 having an effect on plants.

oo Interesting video! I'll send it to them ^^ thanks <3

I heard that on talk radio once too. 20 years ago!
