Plants cause global warming now

Did you know that plants cause global warming, and as plants grow bigger, stronger, and healthier due to increased CO2 they will kill us all?

We are, of course, doomed. Because we are always doomed. Gaia is crying right now.

How does their argument go? How, on Earth, could more plants absorbing more CO2 be a bad thing?

It goes like this:

Increasing CO2 in the atmosphere leads to more plants growing more quickly

Plants don’t absorb CO2 at 100% levels–some goes back into the atmosphere as respiration

More plants mean more respiration, which means that CO2 levels increase when plants respire

Therefore more plants mean more respiration and hence more CO2

You see the problem, right? Plants pull out, on net, vast quantities of CO2 from the air. Simply because they release a fraction of that back into the atmosphere doesn’t mean they are contributing to CO2 levels. They are, in fact, decreasing it by quite a bit. The more plants, the less CO2 on net.

They just want us all dead. Not only are they trying to take away our meat (protein), they want to take away our fruits and veggies (vitamins and minerals) and grain. THey want us to eat bugs. That’s what they think of the rest of us. Bug eaters.

Until humans decide that something must happen to stop them and it isn’t elections because they just fix them.

They are culling us, we need to cull them.
What to do?????

Unfortunately, the article might be correct. I saw a documentary about trees years ago. Trees are evidently evil beings. The yell and scream at passersby. So I can easy believe that they pollute, too. Just for the hell of it.

Better yet, let’s load them up on the nearest rocket and ship them “all” to the moon, where they can REALLY worry about a lack of CO2. It would, at least, keep them busy ....and quiet...for a refreshing change. We could take bets on how long Greta would last before they threw her out of the airlock....because these morons always turn on their own when under real stress.

We have been living in NC for almost 20 years. This is the coolest(coldest) spring we have ever experienced. The global warming hoax meets real life.

I was camping in New Hampshire over the weekend. It was absolutely frigid most of that time. Good think I packed sweaters and coats. Even on the warmer days, it still got into the upper 30s and lower 40s at night. Never remember it being this cold this late in the year.

I threw some peanut shells on the forest floor to help the planet get warmer.

Now, I’m no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

“Trees are evidently evil beings.”

The trees are muttering to themselves: those humans are chopping us to pieces, hacking us out of their way, yanking off our offspring (fruits and seeds), even unearthing our ancient remains (coal and oil) and burning them.

How dare they call us evil! They owe their lives to what we breathe out!

By that logic, I could get rich off of manufacturers’ rebates if I buy enough new cars.

Take as one example the new dishwasher rule, announced on May 5. This one comes from the Department of Energy. It imposes on dishwasher manufacturers what they call “new standards for water and energy efficiency.” In the press release, the main sales pitch to the people is that this is going to save you money — lots of money — along with reducing “carbon emissions” and “saving water.”:

Leave off the sarcasm tag.

It's literally the only solution that will actually save mankind.

Carbon, the atom of life, is worth more than gold on the moon. That's because the moon only has trace amounts of carbon, but rich deposits of gold. There's no carbon energy to dig up. It will not be possible to farm or make steel on the moon without serious recycling of carbon imported from elsewhere.
