CO2 is a GOOD gas. Put more of it in our atmosphere and we can feed more people. The planet gets both greener and wetter.
And not to put too fine a point on it, but Venus is always brought up as a "CO2 disaster". But that is pure baloney. Venus and Mars have almost the exact percentage of CO2 in their atmospheres. Why is Venus hotter? The same reason that Death valley is hotter than the top of Mt Everest: Atmospheric pressure. It's also why the base of the Grand Canyon is a lot hotter than the visitors center at the top.
Our CO2 levels are fine. They could be higher and that would be better for all life.
But if one is really interested in EV's as a modern solution to a problem, this is interesting:
