Science-illiterate Seattle Times claims carbon MONOXIDE causes plants to produce more pollen, which is why climate change is bad… huh?

Here we have an article fully worthy of the Bullshit Meter maximum reading of 10 (Out of 10) ... sorry, but anyone who believes any of these insane claims about the climate need to wear a strait jacket!

[Natural News]: The deranged climate hysterics who work at The Seattle Times have been caught fear-mongering about the alleged threat of carbon monoxide – not carbon dioxide, or CO2, the usual target – which the paper hilariously claims is causing plants to produce too much planet-destroying pollen.

As part of a continued effort to create as many climate anxiety-inducing headlines and graphics as possible, The Seattle Times published an article recently claiming that plants are “producing more pollen because of increased levels of carbon monoxide in the air, prolonging allergy season.”

The same article goes on to claim that in addition to producing more pollen, increased carbon monoxide “reduces nutrients in the plants we eat,” while greenhouse gases “chew away at the ozone, leading to an increased risk of skin cancer.”

First of all, since when is carbon monoxide the bogeyman when it comes to climate change? Last we checked, carbon dioxide is the substance that leftists claim is melting the polar ice caps, flooding the streets of Miami during high tides, and ruining the childhood and future of Greta Thunberg.

Somehow, it’s now the carbon compounds released by the burning of gasoline and wood that are the real threat to planetary subsistence, not the carbon compounds that plants have fed on since the beginning of time, releasing oxygen for us to breathe as a byproduct.

Suffice it to say that none of what The Seattle Times is claiming about carbon monoxide, pollen, plants, the ozone, and skin cancer, has any basis in reality. In fact, it’s all a bunch of completely made-up pseudoscientific nonsense, though it’s reportedly causing an epidemic of “climate anxiety” among people who actually believe this tripe....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
