    Yeah but it’s concerning when plants who reliably use CO2 in a necessary function stop using carbon dioxide at the same level as before. Chloroplasts use the Calvin cycle and you can just look at an image and realize that carbon dioxide is vital to its reduction. So when this stops becoming effective this is the most likely result.

      It's not "plants are no longer photosynthesizing," it's "the sources of emissions have caught up to sinks," largely thanks to changes in pest activity, soil respiration, and wildfires.
