The carbon cycle you mention was an important realization to me, one I learned rather late compared to many I think. We pull carbon out of the ground with no way to ever (relative to human life spans) put it back, and it doesn't just "dissolve into nothing" like so much of what we do seems too, it stays in various forms on the surface "forever". We also pull so much oil from the ground that running out world wide is a concern we give some thought too. It's going to have an effect. If I seem stuck on first base, it's because I regularly deal with people who don't believe in climate change.
