Carbon dioxide is important and it keeps the earth warm. It’s a “greenhouse gas” because it does what a greenhouse does: absorbs heat and radiates it back across the earth. If we had none of it, we’d all freeze (among other problems). The issue now is that we’ve added so much from reckless industrialization that we’re magnifying its effects and the average temperature of the earth is rising much faster than it would had we not continued to burn many tons of fossil fuels.
Sorry to burst this guy’s bubble, but the only idiot here is him. This has nothing to do with religion or a day of reckoning. The earth will not experience an apocalypse in 2046 and this internet whack job doesn’t know more than the collective brilliance of the scientific community who has been studying climate change for many years. Maybe his mommy told him he was special one too many times.

I agree with others that this belongs more in r/conspiracy or somewhere else where fringe “science” and wild theories are more accepted.
The earth has experienced long heating and cooling cycles over its history: https://www.fs.usda.gov/ccrc/education/climate-primer/natural-climate-cycles
This current trajectory we’re on is heating the earth much faster than any other cycle has seen and there is a direct correlation to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in to the atmosphere and the warming of the earth: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide
