But at the same time we can look at other planets with atmospheres w/ much higher compositions of green house gases and the environment is OBVIOUSLY unsuitable for life. So why do we think we are immune to this? We pump a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, at non natural rates, what do you expect to happen?

But then, these other planets don't have life to regulate/change/modify/absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere. Clearly they can be used as a normal negative control, but at the same time, the data we have from these planets is minimal to say the least.
