co2 is not the problem

[MADMAX]

CO2 is not a pollutant. Carbon and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are fundamental for all life on Earth. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas. Carbon dioxide is essential for life on our planet. Carbon dioxide gives and makes life possible. If carbon dioxide levels drop below 200 parts per million things stop growing. Ice is melting faster than expected over oceans, particularly the Arctic. This is because oceans are heating, not the atmosphere.
What is a problem is we need to recycle more. An estimated 1 million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year from eating or becoming entangled in debris, most of it plastic. Continents of garbage in the oceans are killing marine life and releasing poisons that enter the human food chain.
