Just curious what an inverted reality of ours would be like, where instead of having too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere creating glasshouse gas effect, what would the inverse be like where we don’t have enough carbon dioxide in our atmosphere? What would the climate of earth be like?
Giant insects and way more fires! It’s happened a few times in the history of our planet.

So you’re saying the plot of Earth Defense Force 4.1 could be real if we remove enough CO2? That’s hella incentive right there!
He’s assuming that the inverse of too much CO2 is too much O2.
You got me there, my brain did just jump to high O2
“Not enough CO2” probably would be bad news for trees and other photosynthesizing life, since it’s what they breathe. But there was actually a period of time millions of years ago when the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere was much greater.
Yeah, if I’m remembering correctly, there was more oxygen in the atmosphere when dinosaurs were around. The more oxygen allowed animals to grow larger, uncluding bugs 😬
Yeah, bugs are most heavily size restricted by oxygen intake. It would be horrifying to let them have more.
