Totally agree. Yes, prior to the Industrial Revolution Co2 levels were dangerously low. As most plants on this planet evolved when Co2 levels were much higher than they are today, it is why we find that 95% of vegetation are C3 plants. C3 relates to the type of photosynthesis these plants utilize to make sugar and produce valuable oxygen. Unfortunately, these C3 plants are not all that efficient photosynthesizes and as a result need more Co2 not less and so therefore respond dramatically to higher Co2 levels. So by reducing Co2 levels you are making plant life on this planet so much more difficult.

"That's why if you want to enhance crop production you can do so in a controlled atmospheric glasshouse by injecting Co2 into the enclosed environment. It's that simple and so very effective! Glasshouse tomato production is one great example."
