European Union leaders failed Thursday to back a plan to make the bloc’s economy carbon neutral by 2050

Maybe some of you can enjoy this as much as I do... once you prove to a Leftist drone that CO2 increases are not a problem, they quickly move the goalposts and start talking about temperature changes... which are mentioned nowhere in this article.

4 quick questions for busting Climate Change believers...

1. If CO2 concentrations are so important, like world-ending-soon important, like tens of trillions of dollars important... it seems strange that HS science classes aren't doing the very simple experiments to ascertain what levels of CO2 concentration are best for a chosen species of plants. Shouldn't children be educated about this mortal danger, since they won't get to live to see Halley's Comet return? (2061)

2. Many of these studies have been done (cite), and all demonstrate that growth and photosynthesis rates are optimized at about 850-1400ppm CO2. We are at about 400ppm, and rising at about 1.6ppm per year. How is Earth in danger if we are slowly approaching the optimal levels for all plant life?

3. During the Cambrian Period, CO2 levels were over 7000ppm (cite), and plant and animal life thrived. How do you explain the Earth not withering to dust during this era?

4. Since the oceans emit 10-16 times as much CO2 as all human activity combined, shouldn't we be focusing in on the biggest source of CO2 in our efforts to save the planet?

Enjoy!

Great points. I’d like to add that increases in atmospheric CO2 levels FOLLOW rising temperatures. IOW, CO2 does not drive higher temperatures.
