it's not an argument against the well-known greenhouse effect
CO<sub>2</sub> is one of the "[[greenhouse gas]]es". Heat-trapping by CO<sub>2</sub> has been observed on [[Earth]] and [[Venus]]. The extent of its role in the current increase in average global temperatures is a topic of active political and scientific debate. Rising CO<sub>2</sub> levels in the atmosphere have been observed to promote acidification of the oceans, through CO<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O => H2CO3

[[Environmentalist]]s predict catastrophic [[global warming]] scenarios at the hands of excessive CO<sub>2</sub> released by industrial and commercial activities. The theory arguing against the greenhouse effect is that, the planet naturally gives off carbon dioxide, from natural sources such as volcanoes, and thus, it is not so bad for the Earth.

The effects of an increased level of CO<sub>2</sub> is Increased [[plant]] growth, as CO<sub>2</sub>(g) + 12H<sub>2</sub>O(aq) + energy → C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>(aq)(A complex sugar) + 6O<sub>2</sub>(gas) + 6H<sub>2</sub>O(aq), as more products for photosynthesis. This supposedly has beneficial effects for humans, such as greater crop yields and alleviating the effects of a growing human population.
