It's science.

Land-based plants evolved when CO2 levels were much higher than today. [1] In fact levels have been steadily declining from 3000 ppm 150 million years ago; the current, holocene rise is a relatively minor bump. [2]

And by the way global temperature 150 million years ago was the same as today, +/- 2deg C.

Could be. But the bio-make up of the planet was different then, yes?
