The planet has had 20 times — 100 times — the amount of carbon dioxide we have now and has handily survived.
Firstly, humans contribute only 3 percent of the carbon dioxide presently in the atmosphere. The rest is produced by releases from the oceans and decaying plants. Rising carbon dioxide is a symptom of a cyclical warming of oceans from inside the earth, nothing else.
Carbon dioxide isn't the cause of anything except the growth of plants.
