They can’t help themselves. Even when it’s good it has to bad. Got to keep those government grant dollars flowing.

All life is carbon-based. Carbon is bad. Therefore life is bad. It explains why Democrats are strong advocates of child sacrifice, which they call “choice”.

People do not realize how short a time it takes for brush and trees to take over a property.

Eighty acres of clear crop and grass land in Arkansas, forty years ago within ten years of being abandoned, was a jungle of trees and briars. It is impassable now. It will take major cleaning to restore it to crop land.

In NE Oklahoma, 13 acres of what was once good grass land twenty years ago is today briar patches with trees growing out of ever nook and cranny. On my property, only yearly mowing with a brush hogging has kept it from being taken over by trees and briars.

Anyone remember the Trans-Amazon highway being built fifty years ago? When they got a section paved and done, within a year the natural growth of the jungle destroyed the roads.

FINALLY !!
Some common sense, and science.

Notice how the top of North Africa is still a barren desert.

That is so sad. The Northern African coast used to be ‘granary of the world’ just as the American Midwest is now. Huge barges filled with grain used to carry food from northern Africa, Libia, etc to Rome. Rome used to pay for it in gold coins.

In fact the trade imbalance was so high that Rome had to re-value its money several times just to pay for the food. It forced Rome to expand, it could only pay for its food if it attacked and conquered another country and took its gold. It eventually led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Look at Africa’s northern coast it now, a barren desert.

WHY??? Because the CO2 levels ARE STILL TOO LOW, the global temperatures are still too low, the precipitation is still too low.

Lets save the planet by driving our 1970’s muscle cars, our 1990’s gas hog SUV’s, burning more coal and natural gas, and using oil for heating homes.
Doing barbecues in our backyard is our civic duty.

Plants need to eat too. Lets be inclusive.

Lets treat those global warming nutcases like they truly are: World Killing Terrorrists

Climate Hoaxers are anti-Green

They want to ban plant food and they distract attention from real pollution.

“...due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide...”

~~~

I suspect that this was intentionally mis-stated.
The intent is to mislead.

Are there consistantly higher levels of measured CO2 in the atmosphere?

I think what more accurately should say is “due to rising levels of carbon dioxide availability”... there is more green vegetation.

The increased vegetation will compensate for the CO2 by metabolizing it into O2 because of the increased photosynthesis and the CO2 levels will be moderated.

assuming that any of this is actually true, this looks like a simple case of planetary homeostasis that checks and balances atmospheric CO2 with the CO2 bound by terrestrial flora ... just one of many such planetary homeostatic systems ...

"Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct".

I see no mention in the article of oxygen the beneficial result of photosynthesis, as well as carbon dioxide reduction.

CO2 increases green plants, and increased green plants increase the carbon sinks, sequestering CO2 in the plants, which over time puts the carbon back in the earth in the life cycle of the plants.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is natural, organic, and free range.

continuing to reach concentrations not seen in at least 500,000 years.

410 PPM is a completely insignificant number......and only 5% of that is man made.

And no mention of the increase in volcanic activity. Anyone remember the 2018 lower Puna eruption in Hawaii? Or naturally occurring wild fires?

From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25.

Plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, and convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and organic compounds.

In other words plants are a sink for carbon dioxide. That is a good thing, is it not?

What I have been saying all the time - carbon dioxide is plant food.

And as the plants consume carbon dioxide, they are also renewing that very reactive element, oxygen, without which no higher form of life on earth could continue to exist.

On a purely objective basis, oxygen can be a pretty nasty element, and as an element, second only to fluorine, a VERY corrosive gas of the halogen family of elements, in its chemical reactivity. Only, the Lord in his wisdom chose to make oxygen a VERY important part of the metabolism of all protoplasm in which life on earth resides. Therefore, to us, oxygen is totally and inseparably tied to life itself.

Conclusion is, we NEED carbon dioxide. Don’t mess with it.

Like messing around with the Lord.

Gosh, carbon dioxide is actually good for plants? Who ever would have thunk it?

It is almost as if carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but is instead a trace gas naturally occurring in the atmosphere, which is necessary for the continued existence of all life on Earth.

Mr. Obvious here, ok kiddies, what do plants suck up? That’s right CO2, and what do they produce? O2. If didn’t learn this in middle school on, you’re a MORON.

NO! That is not allowed to be true! Not allowed!
