Plants on Earth have flourished for hundreds of millions of years, yet President Donald Trump's pick to lead his new climate team insists that they need more carbon dioxide to thrive.
Princeton physicist and carbon dioxide-advocate William Happer has been selected to head the brand new Presidential Committee on Climate Security, reports The Washington Post. The atomic scientist -- who achieved recognition for his work on atomic collisions and telescope optics, not climate science -- maintains that the planet's atmosphere needs significantly more CO2, the potent greenhouse gas that U.S. government scientists -- and a bevy of independent scientists -- have repeatedly underscored is stoking accelerating climate change.
Because plants use carbon dioxide to live, Happer has said "more CO2 is actually a benefit to the Earth," asserted that Earth is experiencing a "CO2 famine," and concluded that "If plants could vote, they would vote for coal."

….not to mention the socialist revolution that would sneak into the tent after the global warming camel sticks his head through the flap.
(It ain’t about co2-it’s about how to further the revolution.)
IMHO
Then them deserts will be producing - GASP! - OXYGEN!!

What happens to Oxygen in the water of a pond with excess algae in it?
The problem is why does the pond have “excess” algae.
That is usually because their is too much nutrients in the pond - “fertilizer” mostly from animals in and using the pond.
Good point. A Google search for “CO2 generators” reveals there is such a thing, and they are used by greenhouses.
I was in a cab from the airport in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, to my hotel and was talking with the driver. He had an indoor fresh vegetable grow operation attached to his house. He claimed he made good $$ providing fresh tomatoes and other stuff to local Whitehorse restaurants during the long, very severe, winter months.
He told me that his grow results increased dramatically after he installed an exhaust system from his house to the grow building. He lived with his wife, two kids and a couple of dogs. He maintained that the increase in CO2 made all the difference.
I remain a bit skeptical when hearing anecdotal stories, but this one sounded believable.

I noticed at your link people cannot comment OR even email this clown that does not understand 2nd grade science.
More CO2 is great for trees, plants and food for the earth. Like wise they will put out more O2.
The writers B.S. is so over the top, and now we know why no one can respond to this B.S. article.
“I don’t see no plants grow out of no toilet.”
6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O + photons → C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g)
carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen
No fair, you’re using facts to promote your argument.
