Anoxic events have happened several time in Earth's history due to Massive Carbon Release into the Air and Lack of Oxygen in the Ocean. The extreme release of carbon likely happened due to Volcanic Eruptions on a massive scale.
Is that going to happen to us? I don't have the slightest clue but hope not. If anything is putting too much carbon in the air right now it's the Billion plus vehicles moving up and down the streets. Yeah that's right you and I are releasing this stuff on a massive scale.
Large portions of the ocean are covered in algae whose size dwarfs that of our forests. If these suddenly start dying then the photosynthesis that cleans our are is going to spiral the wrong way and it'll end badly. Am I gonna do anything about it? No.
Taxing companies for carbon emissions is for generating revenue for the state because the state will set levels that maximize it's own profit and not stop emissions. To stop high level emission you have to actually make it illegal.
Are we all fucked? I don't know. I don't think any of us are qualified to assess this situation because we are not experts. The experts who made it their lives to understand this subject are off in a bubble somewhere separated from our attention by a media that filters everything to conduct the agenda of the Banks that own Everything. We'll never know the truth.
My guess is the media wants us to believe in global warming true or not and eventually we will volunteer our taxes for repentance for how we screwed things up and trust in their super political power to fix it. Seriously most of us have never even taken a geology course and don't have any business in this discussion.
