Eco Worriers: “CO2 is a pollutant!” Gaia: “Tell that to the biosphere.” Biosphere: “Yumm, burp!”

So what?

“So what?”

Guess you don't get out much.... ;)

‘Seems about right, to me.

Plants breathe in CO2.

Who knew?!

[DaveTesla]

But...but...but...
I thought warming and CO2 was destroying the planet and
the only to save us was to kill the economy....

Karl Marx was going to save us all....

Any way this article ought to enrage the progressives.

Feed the Earth....
Burn some coal.

Carbon..
The backbone of biology for all life.

Gaia loves CO2!!!

What will the Gorebots turn to next as the new planetary crisis?

CO2 has been used by greenhouses to boost production for some time at twice the atmospheric level. CO2 generators can be purchased from greenhouse mfg’s and suppliers

Some questions: Where is the equilibrium point? Does the minuscule rise in CO2 surpass the point that plants can use it? How much CO2 was in the atmosphere during past warm periods (around 1000 A.D.)? etc.

Full eclipses?

Here’s what keeps me up at night: /s

Someday the sun is going to explode and consume planet earth in a huge fireball. All life as we know it will cease to exist. I think that we need a global system of taxation to prepare for the time when the earth will cease to exist. I will be willing to administer the funds — they’re kind of like “carbon credits” except that we will call them “earth extinction credits” — everyone must pay into the fund.

I will jet around the globe to fancy conferences ala Albore and talk about how everything around us will one day cease to exist...... in a few billion years.

Feed the Earth....
Burn some coal.

You said it!

It is absolutely criminal that we cannot exploit our own resouces!

"So what?"

Extra CO2 is a good thing after all, and not the end of the world predicted by global warming fear mongers.

What is the source of that interesting chart. Can it be quoted?
