Beware of availability bias here.

Bad news is reported far more often than good.

There are signs of the planet greening as a result of higher CO2, for instance.

That doesn't diminish the potential damage, but it's not all bad.

The largest mass extinction in history was due to rising 02 levels.

Its the rate of change, not the change itself that causes mass extinctions.
