To: Tell It Right

“trying to have more CO2 consuming plants anyway to keep the north pole from melting”

As the earth warms (regardless of why) plant growth is enhanced and so more CO2 is consumed by plants and they exhale more oxygen. Warming will cause areas that previously supported little or no plant life to have more plant life. Nature has a self-correcting balance between CO2 and oxygen in our atmosphere.

Fossil fuels come from plant material. The plants produce solid compounds that contain carbon captured from the atmosphere (from CO2) and from their roots. When the plant material (fossil fuel) is burned, each carbon atom is happily re-paired with oxygen atoms, releasing heat and gasses including CO2. Plants merely give off the CO2 that they originally took in.

Wind turbines actually slow up the rotation of the earth. Remember Newton: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. So the energy that turns the blades has to be taken from something else…the rotation of the earth. If you want to say winds, you can trace that back to the same place.
