They detail the delicate balance between plants that take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen and animals that take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. But then they say that reducing carbon will reduce the plant population since photosynthesis will be restricted. As for the ones that come from the ground, if any are in too short of supply, plant growth will be impacted. In other words, even if we were able to reduce carbon dioxide levels to pre-industrial times, we would not have negative impacts on plant growth. According to a May 12 article titled “Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide” by Rebecca Lindsey, “Carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in human history.
