It's really quite simple. No CO2, no plants. No plants, no O2 production. No O2, we die.

I recommend any of several videos by Dr Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, in which he discusses CO2 and life on earth. He points out that we will have an extinction event (we all die) if CO2 levels fall much lower than they are today. In fact, the CO2 emissions due to our burning of carbon based fuels, are good. Molluscs and corals have been fixing carbon in their shells very effectively. Prior to the industrial revolution, CO2 levels were only 30ppm above the extinction level. Go buy a Suburban today to ensure our children's future!
