    Too much is a bad thing for humans. It traps heat, this causes warming, that causes melting and more severe weather extremes.

    For humans we want it back down to 300 ppm or so.

    GLobal warming is a factor ontop of other long term acquirer trends.

    IT's far more simple then deniers make it out to be.

    1) We keep create CO2, and other, greenhouse gasses.

    2) It's a fact those gases trap energy(heat)

    3) it's a fact that about half of CO2 emitted by humans is NOT reabsorbed into the environment.

    4) So the question is, how fast will ice melt with the increasing temperature. turns out: faster.

    Maybe this will help:
