Know this and know it for a certainty: Carbon dioxide is plant food. Without it, plants wither and die. It is our OBLIGATION to increase carbon dioxide to the degree we are able, to aid our plant life on this planet to grow and extend to its maximum limit.

There is no climate “cure”, because there is no climate “disease”. We rely on carbon-based fuel, and the excess carbon dioxide merely goes into accelerated and extended plant growth. So long as we encourage plant growth at every juncture, by cultivation and land management, the content of carbon dioxide shall never rise above about 0.05% concentration in the atmosphere.

Plants require carbon dioxide to conduct photosynthesis, and greenhouses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth, since its low present-day atmosphere concentration is just above the “suffocation” level for green plants. A photosynthesis-related drop in carbon dioxide concentration in a greenhouse compartment can kill green plants.

The uncontrolled smokestack emissions of burning coal without any scrubber techniques in place, IS a crime against humanity. But now, carbon dioxide is being put in the same category as sulfur dioxide, mercury vapor, fly ash, cyanides, carbon monoxide, and particulate carbon. The consumption of coal as a fuel driving industry is close to being outlawed in this country by these fanatics.

Algorians are in for some real change. We are undergoing prolonged sunspot minimum with apparently unusually low sunspot maximum to follow. That means atmosphere will be at lower heights, more pronounced or violent stormy weather and generally cooler temperatures. Some warming! he, he.

My wife runs a couple of girl scout troops. This year’s Fall Products sale is about ‘green’.

I’ve been looking to come up with a few simple, understandable-by-preteens items to pass along re: Global Warming.

Here’s line of thinking:

Question: What are the molecules that compose air? Name them in order of most-to-least.

Answer: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Water, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, and Other.

Question: If you assume that all the air in this room adds up to $100., what is the value of each of these from the most numerous molecules to the least numerous?

Answer:

Nitrogen: $77.00
Oxygen: $20.00
Water: $ 2.00
Argon: $ 0.95
CO2: $ 0.04
Other: $ 0.01

Question: So, even now that Humans have pumped MASSIVE amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, it only makes up 4 cents of the entire $100. of the atmosphere. How much of the 4 cents have been added by Humans?

Answer: 1 penney. So, yea, that’s going to kill us, right?

Heresy, heresy, my goodly man!

Know ye not that the orthodox science is right every time! Have ye not the faith in your betters? Have ye not reigned in your doubts and the trivial bits of evidence that refute the gainsayers of Washington and the IPCC?

Shame. I say again Shame! on you for doubting the Gore...

(Have you noticed that every time “orthodox science” starts stridently defending itself and the conventional wisdom, it turns out that the “new idea” was right, and conventional wisdom dead wrong?)
