Carbon Dioxide What's so Bad about It?

Gas prices once again took a big jump upward as a new carbon tax law came into effect April 1 in Canada. And no, it's not a joke.
We've heard a lot about Carbon Dioxide levels in the air getting too high and too dangerous and drastic actions need to be taken.
But what is so bad about Carbon Dioxide?
A slight rise is actually good for us as it acts as an inhibitor of oxidation. It appears to be a stabilizer of the iron-transferring complex which prevents the involvement of iron ions in the initiation of free radical reactions. Free radicals can cause chain reactions that ultimately damage cells. Carbon Dioxide acts as an antioxidant, An antioxidant is any molecule that can block free radicals from stealing electrons and creating a dangerous imbalance.
The body creates free radicals through the normal processes of metabolism. When the amount of free radicals exceeds the body?s ability to eliminate or neutralize them, an oxidative imbalance results. An imbalance results in disease and accelerated aging.
Before the flood Carbon Dioxide ratio in the atmosphere was considerably higher than it is now. And people lived almost a thousand years. After the flood the atmospheric conditions were changed and people were soon dying much younger.
PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Consider the vast amount of vegetation prior to the flood, needed to produce all the oil and natural gas we find today. Plants were much larger and the abundance of them was enormous. *All the oil, natural gas we now have came from these vast forests buried during the flood.
Then there were the huge dinosaurs that ate these plants. Even the mammals were about twice the size of their relatives today.
It is intriguing to study how plants grow larger and becoming more environmentally efficient as carbon dioxide levels increase.
It appears that before Noah's flood, not only was there a water-vapor canopy and a tropical environment, there was significantly more carbon dioxide levels than what is contained in the earth's atmosphere today? Was this the reason for the much greater vegetation than we have today. And also the great size of creatures that lived back then? And it also answers the question as to where the large vegetation levels came that have provided the material for the great quantities of fossil fuels we have today.

The Climate change agenda is just a deception. Yes, the climate is changing radically because of the events taking place on the sun. It has nothing to do with what the humans are doing here.

Consider California reservoirs were drying up (after they wasted a bunch of water by draining it down!) and it's the end of the world. Then in a very short time they are almost too full. Climate changes. Sometimes cold, sometimes warm.
But Carbon dioxide, what is the percentage of it in the atmosphere up to now? Maybe 0.04%? That is, 0.0004. Reminds me of doubling and tripling bank interest rates the last several years -- still not making much of anything. One volcano and any 30% of .0004 man-made released air component would pale in comparison.

With all the vegetation being destroyed by fire, etc. and thus lowering our oxygen level in the atmosphere, shouldn't that concern us?

That could be a concerning question. But first, what is the oxygen level needed in the atmosphere to support life, what is the oxygen level before the fires, and what is the oxygen level after the fires?
Until those questions are answered, it is only drama speculation like you see in news headlines -- Aliens could be lurking anywhere!

And, which produces more oxygen - an acre of trees or an acre of grass?

I was just at the Florida Everglades and they were explaining how it was the source of massive amounts of the oxygen we breath and why we have to preserve them, they also leaned to having them be expanded, but the cost would be prohibitive in my opinion.

You might not have explained it exactly, but assuming you did, notice the weasel words:
Everglades the source of oxygen.
True. So is my potted plant.
Of massive amounts of oxygen we breathe.
True. We do breathe "massive" amounts compared to .... thimble fulls?
But the implication they hope you make, which isn't what they say, is that the everglades provide massive amounts. Not true. Unless you compare thimbles. But not true compared to the oxygen generated elsewhere.

And don't forget that those plants breathe in Carbon Dioxide, therefore Carbon Dioxide is important to their survival, as Oxygen important to our own survival.
