at the end of the interglacial (about 10,000 years ago-we are technically still in a glacial period), CO2 was at about 220 ppm. At 160 ppm all terrestrial plant life dies. Given the slope of decreasing CO2, we were anywhere from 1.5-2 million years away from a mass extinction event. Luckily, as the earth and oceans warmed during the current interglacial period, the oceans degassed CO2 and the CO2 increase began.
If gov'ts want to meddle in the energy sector, they should be giving tax breaks or credits for using fossil fuels-anything that adds more CO2 to the atmosphere.
