Really

We have the volume off, but CNBC is interviewing a guest who runs an "environmentally-friendly" fund. They flashed a stat on the bottom of the screen:

"Highest Carbon count in the atmosphere in 800,000 years"

My first reaction is: How could one possibly quantify that?

Second, there was apparently a high carbon count 800,001 years ago, and yet the earth somehow sustained life...
