I guess all those pesky scientists are in on this control scheme, must be so as governments pay them in many cases. Only big oil fights for our freedom to stop this.

It's not in any doubt that CO2 is a major problem leading to climate catastrophes (or at least catastrophes for how and where humans currently live). However, trees could be part of a solution in capturing CO2, but humanity is reducing the number of trees, so that's not really going to help matters.

There's actually a lot of doubt regarding that

Sure, so if the CO2 nuts were really serious about helping the planet they'd be organizing to plant massive amounts of trees. Not standing in the middle of highways yelling at people.

This is the point where you should be providing quality evidence of your opinion.

I suspect that you haven't really thought through the best way of effecting change and are instead just putting forward a political opinion.

I think we both learned from COVID that shoving links back and forth on the internet does nothing to change someone's mind.
