>> The planet is running a CO2 deficit

This is true. CO2 is being sequestered via many natural processes. When all the CO2 is locked up and not interacting with the atmosphere, most life on the planet will stop functioning.

Humans releasing CO2 into the atmosphere is a natural process (evolution) that restores a vital nutrient to the planet. Some species will be negatively impacted... the polar bear. But many other species will thrive. The history of this planet shows that CO2 above 400ppm allows life to absolutely thrive.

Besides polar bears, people like me will be negatively affected. I'm a skier ;-(
