I think we need to be as suspicious about the climate change narrative as we are about all the other ridiculous narratives coming out of The Machine. Yes, of course eruptions of all sorts are going on. But CO2 as a cause is an excuse. And I think what is going on with the earth is far more complex and nuanced than these control freaks will have us know. I like to imagine the earth is a little more intelligent than we give her credit for.
C02 is a bit like the gun in the hand of the child that I mentioned in my previous essay. What's really changing the climate, which is also to say the environment, is all the activities related to industrial capitalism.
Normally, an influx of C02 would be no real problem (it also happens during wildfires, etc). But because we've significantly deforested large areas of the planet and turned others into desolate wastelands, there's not enough plant growth to balance out this excess.
The same goes for many other aspects. For a really in-depth discussion of how the cycle of flooding and drought of the Rhine relates to deforestation and disrupted weather patterns, see my essay, The Garments of the Goddesses. https://rhyd.substack.com/p/the-garments-of-the-goddesses
I have read that thorough ecosystem restoration - forests, mangrove ecosystems, kelp beds, sea grass beds, grasslands, along with a switch to universal regenerative agriculture, holistic managed grazing and so on would enable the planet to absorb the excess CO2 and turn the CO2 into living organisms and richer soil,
but that doesn’t fit the maximum short term profit model of our current system.
