Biden’s War on CO2 – Starving Planet Earth

Carbon dioxide is persona non grata in leftist circles. Listening to Democrat blathering over CO2, which they exhale copiously with each breath, one would think this gas is poisonous, on par with Sarin or other nerve gases. In reality, CO2 is plant food, and essential for life on planet Earth.

One of President Biden’s first executive orders, signed on January 20, aims to “restore science to tackle the climate crisis.” Joe claims, “the policy of my Administration to listen to the science.” Really?

His administration can’t decide how many masks we should wear, how far apart we should stand next to each other, or why despite millions of Americans getting vaccinated every day, we need to consider more lockdowns. Most of these recommendations did not “listen to the science” and now the arbitrary changes are still not following any science, particularly evidence-based clinical trials, the holy grail for Drs Fauci, Birx, and the rest of the medical smart set.

In the executive order, Biden emphasizes the “social cost of carbon,’ whatever that means. Is there a social cost of air and water too? Is the word “social” a convenient excuse to invoke “social justice,” “systemic racism,” “oppression,” “intersectionality,” “privilege,” and other leftist dog-whistle buzzwords in the grand plan of fundamentally transforming America?

Carbon happens to be the building block of life on Earth. It is also organic, produced by natural processes that cannot be reproduced by man in any meaningful way, specifically the creation of coal, oil, and natural gas. Carbon is non-GMO, free-range, pesticide free, and everything else needed for it to be sold at Whole Foods if it was edible.

They should just make carbon illegal.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Frankly, I don’t know what I would do without Co2. Other than dying.

[LastDayz]

“Other than dying.”

And I suspect that’s their endgame.

[HighSierra5]

Carbon dioxide comprises .04% of the Earth’s atmosphere. The way the commies talk you’d think the air is awash with CO2. Wait till they convince the masses that oxygen is bad.

There is a social cost to reducing or eliminating carbon and CO2, contrary to the supposed intention of Biden’s executive order. Advocating for less atmospheric CO2 and cooler temperatures will cause a “browning” of the planet, less food, more starvation, disease, and misery around the world. Is that part of the “fundamental transformation” or “great reset”? Is CO2 reduction a backhanded means of population control?

No. But what the author seems to be missing is that eliminating plentiful and inexpensive energy is the real goal, not reducing CO2. CO2 production will continue to rise in India and China and elsewhere, and there is absolutely no need to worry about slowing the rise in atmospheric CO2, never mind stopping or actually reducing.

CO2 should not be regulated at all. It is a nutrient, not a pollutant.

[central_va]

Memory lane: It took court action in '07 to classify CO₂ as pollutant!!

Link: US Supreme Court decides CO2 is a pollutant

[palmer]

Yep, that's what the science says it will do "Conclusion - The main effect of CO2 fertilization was to raise the level of the world forest stock in 2065 by 9 to 10 % for scenarios A2 and B2 and by 20 % for scenario A1B. The rise in forest stock induced by fertilization was in part counteracted by its stimulation of the wood supply which resulted in lower wood prices and increased harvests."

[rickmichaels]

According to Critical Woke Theory™, only non-intersectional racist oppressors (i.e., straight white males) create CO₂.

[taildragger]

"CO2 should not be regulated at all. It is a nutrient, not a pollutant."

I read a brilliant thinker who's name escapes me said their are no pollutants, they are chemicals, materials, & elements of which we haven't found the right use for. We have a use for CO2 and the Supreme Court should be ashamed of themselves for their 07' ruling....

[central_va]

All life dies on Mother Erf if dies if atmospheric CO₂ levels fall below 160ppm.

[central_va]

All life dies on Mother Erf if atmospheric CO2 levels fall below 160ppm.

Fixed it.

Biden’s War on CO2 – Starving Planet Earth.

The only ‘war’ Biden maybe able to win is the war with the zipper on the front of his pants. And that’s only a ‘maybe’.

“Joe claims, “the policy of my Administration to listen to the science.”

That’s rich coming from a jerk and a party that believes in global warming!😛

[Bonemaker]

Pittsburgh in the 40's:

Pittsburgh today:

What are these whiny democrat bastards complaining about?

[Bonemaker]

And 300 million plus Americans are ruled by 5 of these ringpieces.

[Bonemaker]

Hopefully, Providence will starve Biden of O2.

[I want the USA back]

Co2 is essential to plants. If the amount is reduced, plant life will diminish. If you increase the Co2, plants will flourish. Nature will tend to reach an equilibrium no matter what stupid things humans do.

So the stupid schemes like building machines that will drain the Co2 out of the air will not work. If they do suck Co2 out of the air, nature will adjust and they will have accomplished nothing.

Plant trees!

[PIF]

Wait till they convince the masses that oxygen is bad.

They are working on ridding the atmosphere of water vapor currently I’ve heard.
