BTW, guys, this problem of CO2 rising is not just due to the billions of humans, their cars and cattle!
Just clearing natural habitat releases carbon from the biomass of the ground into the atmosphere. In Queensland, Australia for example, for every hectare of land cleared, they release 100 tons of carbon into the air!
The problem is that learning biology and geography, what people do in other lands and the like is considered optional, naive and a diversion to sports and "real practical knowledge for life” in many educational systems. Childrens' weekend TV shows have mad scientists trying to bamboozle everyone to control the world.
People graduate as engineers and lawyers, becoming captains of industry or of cruise ships innocent and ignorant of the facts of life of our own ecosystem.
In fact mention of ecosystem brings otherwise competent fun people to a state of ridicule about our concerns and responsibility to account for what we are doing.
We are therefore used to looking at the product we want to consume. We just like a friendly interface of things. We only need to know what button to push, not how to really make something work or what the significance of things really is.
We look at the superficial, put on acid washed jeans, crack open a beer or even a great wine and smile at our achievements!
This is, mon ami, mon tres tres cher ami, le grand illusion, what I call "The Delusionorium".

In brief, if the birds die, then we are the dinosaurs too!
