Except that approximately all of one entire political party (who happen to be currently "in charge" of things) believe that CO2 is good for plants, therefore it's good always for everything and we should put more of it into the atmosphere as quickly as possible, especially if it further enriches outdated obsolete greedy pollution-loving science-hating overlords. Anyone who disagrees is a witch or a terrorist.
