The Earth just isn't that fragile.

But much of the surrounding regions are drought-ridden because the USSR drained the Aral sea over the course of decades.


At the end of the day I still find the proposal that CO2 is a "pollutant" to be preposterous. Nature has and continues to produce it in an abundance far in excess of what we will ever manage to add to those figures. The oceans act as huge CO2 sinks and the storage an release of those deposits depend directly upon the sun.
