A bunch of uneducated morons that believe the narrative presented by the pretend science that fuels their billion dollar climate change gravy train. The real reason for the increase in Co2 is the massive amount of corporate deforestation.

Trees breath Co2. It would take about 600 million acres of forest to offset the Co2 emmissions of the entire United States. Global deforestation is estimated to be 4.5 billion acres.

Yeah but you can't as easily use deforestation as a pretext to control people. The carbon emissions thing is great because it's tied to things regular people do, and it is hard to measure how one's carbon emissions impact climate. So you can force people to do things, saying that it is to prevent them from destroying the climate with carbon emissions, and it will be extremely difficult to disprove you.
