Dumb Plum, at the very least you have grasped that plants "breathe" in CO2 and "breathe" out oxygen, and therefore part of an ecosystem.
Making random changes like reducing oxygen or CO2 will change the balance and effect change. Scientists of today are limited in their knowledge, but smart enough to not try to change the makeup of the natural atmosphere.
At least not until science was advanced enough to make improvements, whatever they may be.
The environment is warming that is a fact. CO2 is the cause and its level is increasing.Unfortunately, scientists do not have a travel itinerary with the man-made catastrophic events and dates - or a rate card based on the % increase outlining the events like a movie series.
However, the assumption is that too much change would not be good on the environment so reducing CO2 is prudent.
Are you allergic to clean energy?

‘CO2 fertilization and climate change are still important,” says Chen. Extra CO2 in the atmosphere is still responsible for the majority of the change in greenness seen in the 17-year period he and his team looked at. However, the study reveals that how we are managing forests and croplands has a greater impact that previously thought.’

Of course CO2 increases are proven....1 degree is not going to promote much greening. But this good news can’t be allowed to stand. CO2 doing something good....nope it’s inconvenient.
So it is actually ‘terrible’ because a fraction of it comes from crops that rapidly disgorge their CO2. And if that argument doesn’t do it for you, we are warned because it won’t last for long because of the mythical heat.
They have all the bases covered.
