-We have been taking massive amount of carbon buried deep underground, and introducing it back into the cycle. And we burn more and more carbon everyday
-We also have destroyed way over half of the vegetation responsible for filtering carbon out of the atmosphere


How exactly have humans not had an impact?
- Water vapor is the most significant greenhouse gas. Only a small percentage is carbon dioxide, and an even smaller percentage is the carbon dioxide added by humans.
- Earth has plants which convert CO2 into O2; venus does not.
- The Carbon from Fossil Fuels buried deep underground has already been in Earth's atmosphere at one point
- If our atmosphere were to end up resembling what it did back then, well life had no problem surviving back then, it flourished.
- 2/3 of plant life 'filtering carbon out of the atmosphere' live in the ocean. Also, something like 10% are just from coniferous trees in the Siberian taiga & tundra
