Don't look under your bed, you might imagine you see a boogeyman.

And for the mentally challenged, I wrote about this when Trump was still a democrat.

Incorrect. Changes in the climate in the distant past doesn’t invalidate the effect that excess carbon dioxide emissions has now.

The fact is that our climate is changing and getting hotter sooner and for longer periods of time than expected. Human activity and the fact that carbon dioxide traps heat is the most likely cause of climate change.

And what is "excess". There were higher levels of CO2 in the past.

The scientific consensus on human-driven climate change is well established. If you have peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary, share it.

From my college days, I have vague memories of a class on metabolism and respiration.

My recollection is that Carbon Monoxide (CO us a metabolic poison and will kill you, but that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a necessary by product of the Crebs Cycle and is necessary for plant life to live.
