I don't think you finished reading the post. The US has a net negative effect on CO2 emissions due to the low CO2 emissions intensity. There is a reason why the media pushes the "per-capita" numbers instead of the intensity numbers. It is to funnel money into pet projects and bilk taxpayers out of their money.

It's not just O2 that's a problem. There's an even worse menace lurking in our atmosphere, and nobody is doing anything about it!Of course, I am referring to Dihydrogen Monoxide. We must start doing everything in our power to eliminate this hazardous substance before it's too late! I estimate, based on models I have created, that we only have about 3 months before Diydrogen Monoxide concentrations pass the point of no return.
- It's a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and can exist in higher amounts.
- It's directly responsible for almost 10 deaths every single day in the US alone, on average.
- It's been found in great quantities permeating every single case of coral reef bleaching on the plant.
- It's found on every continent and island on earth.
- Scientists agree that it is directly responsible for increased size and power of tropical storms and hurricanes.
- It has been found in large quantities in every stream and river across the globe.
- Water treatment plants have consistently refused to even attempt to filter it out.
- It is present in all exhaust from vehicles.
- It can be corrosive and has been referred to in scientific circles as "the Universal Solvent."
(See, OP? I can say silly things and make silly predictions too.)

Co2 = Plant-food = Photosynthesis = Carbon Sinking
Research/trial in the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, was published in last week's Science. It suggests that each atom of iron added to the sea could pull between 10,000 and 100,000 atoms of carbon out of the atmosphere by encouraging plankton growth, which captures carbon and sinks it deep towards the ocean floor (2004).
The U.N. seem petrified with iron seeding as some believe it’s so effective it could drop the temperature by as much as 15C
But this was discovered long ago and the U.N. seem to be keeping a lid on it
The U.N. being the most vocal about needing a green new deal, I smell a rat
......And then O2 levels rising due to the bloom in plant growth and spread due to the rise in CO2. That leads to supersize me insects and critters like in the Permian period. I mean Im from the deep and dirty South.. so Ive seen mosquitoes as big as swallows, but Im pretty sure my GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat grandkids could face Giant 747 size Mothra critters and Bus size bite your whole head off Mantis, and cessna size mosquitoes. In order to prevent this we should probably start making everyone miserable, carbon tax the crap out of everything, and make sure there is ***NO*** O2 in the future. Its the only way to be sure.. and make the world a utopia for our ancestors.

It all boil down to this, we just don't know what is going on.

You're onto it.. nothing we do will change anything. We're not going to stop the natural cycle of the climate.
But hey, since we have cancer, lets all just smoke a pipe and guffaw.
