I was always taught plants (trees being one kind of plant) got their CO2 from the atmosphere, not from decomposing bodies beneath the ground. BTW, part of the decomposition process involves bacteria "eating" the body, and oxydizing (another word for burning) the aforementioned complex molecules for energy -releasing CO2 as a by-product. Either way, the body gets "burned".

So back off the age knocks. Actually, I wasn't that old when it came out. I did get to watch some of the climactic scenes of The Omega Man being filmed, that was a heavy flick back in the day. Heston did like a dozen takes of getting hit in the chest with a spear, using different sorts of plating/wood combinations, because they couldn't get the thing to stick. Each time, he'd get knocked backward into that fountain, it was amazing. They finally kept a take where he grabbed it as it hit and held on tight. Sorry, I just figured that was more interesting than talking about solar warming. Hey, Soylent Green is a fairly recent movie, ok? So back off the age knocks.
