If CO2 is so bad why do most climate change activists and
believers produce as much CO2 in their daily activities as the
common folks? That is the more interesting question.

...Double Plant Growth?

Do they teach Science in school anymore ?

Utterly ridiculous on so many levels. Carbon dioxide is not going to miraculously double the size of plants. It's like saying oxygen will double the size of animals.

Even if the premise was true, doubling the size of plants is not going to solve the climate crisis. Carbon dioxide is being built up into the atomosphere from emmissions, trapping sunlight, much the same way the glass does on a car. That heats up the planet, and shrinks the ice caps, which are responsible for reflecting the sun's rays, which only accelerates the warming. Then carbon dioxide trapped in the oceans gets released, making the problem even worse. The result is that the problem escalates quickly and exponentially until there is no turning back, and nothing can be done. The Earth's temperature rises to a point where species die out, ecosystems collapse, water levels rise, bacteria flourish in the ocean, and more extreme weather causes extensive damage and deaths. This, in turn, leads to global instablity, and the increased likelihood of war, famine, etc....

Scientists unanimously agree. Every major scientific organization does. The problem is those who stand to lose the most money, oil companies, big corporations don't give a shit. They only care about making money, and don't want the government to make drastic changes which will make them lose money. They therefore buy politicans and spread information such as that on the site you listed to create confusion, doubt, and skeptism.

Ok, so salads are healthy, right? Everyone knows that. And what are salads? Cut up vegetables, right? Well, potatoes are vegetables and french fries are cut up potatoes, so fries are a salad. Therefore, fries are good for you.

Wake up, sheeple! Big nutrition is lying to you!

Cool theory, bro.
You should test it and I know how.
All you need is a plastic bag and some duct tape.

Then you can prove to all us that CO2 isn't bad.

CO2 is bad for HUMANS
Life (incl plants) thrive on it

Our Oxygen levels today are way higher than anything we had years ago

Because they are hypocrites.

If global warming is really happening, how come it snowed last year? Do they teach science in schools anymore??

I am of the view that global warming is too much a distraction
for the good of the world. Warming or cooling a global shift to
sustainability has to transpire. The transition should
not be driven by the fear of the impending end of the
world though.

Look it up. According to the World Bank, National Oil Companies (NOCs) accounted for 75% global oil production and controlled 90% of proven oil reserves in 2010. So Big Oil is the government.

You are full of shit! Plant loves CO2 it basic biology.

So what? Plants need CO2 like we need oxygen. Depriving them of it will stunt their growth, but giving more C02 is only going to maximize their natural growth rate. It's not as if you can keep adding CO2 to plants to make them bigger and bigger. Same with oxygen. Humans need oxygen, but pumping more oxygen into the air is not going to make us bigger and stronger.

They’re not giving the plants CO2, they’re giving them electrolytes. It’s what plants crave!

Which scientist in particular you think has been ignored?
David Suzuki is a scientist. He is a Zoologist and to my knowledge
he is no authority on the physics and chemistry of environmental
science. And besides he certainly has not been ignored
given the reward he has reaped from flying around
giving talks.

I am sure climate change is rightfully a concern to many scientists.
I just don't think they are as worried about the future as many of
the activists.

An atmospheric chemistry professor I talked to
many years ago told me in earnest that climate
change was going to be inevitable even if we all
stopped burning fossil fuel immediately. That was
back in the late 1990s. To this date I still see no reason
not to believe him. So I never ignored him. He biked
to school most of the time and I either walked or commuted
by TTC. He could have told everyone else the same thing.
But I don't see why everyone would turn into an climate
change activist by his words which he was not.

Its true enough.
The problem is that the solutions are costly to the individual, so the only way they will happen is if collectively applied.
