     [ ]  It's not happening
     [ ]  Don't mess with my life
     [ ]  It's my grandkids' problem, not mine
     [ ]  What's a mere 2°C, So What
     [ ]  What's a mere 4-6°C, So What
     [ ]  We're Toast

but "we" did not.  And the Plants Must Breath !!!

Plants, our FOOD, Breath in CO2 and make O2

how come you global wormers do not believe in that ? failed Biology in 
High school ?
