Carbon Dioxide is the Elixir of Life, Let’s Celebrate It Not Demonise It

 “Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are killing our planet. People must reduce their carbon footprint.” Both are popular claims that draw approving nods from some.

However, neither is true. CO2 is an elixir of life, supporting plants for hundreds of millions of years and making virtually all life on Earth possible. Plants rely on photosynthesis to produce glucose, using water from the soil and CO2 from the air.

Life-giving CO2 should be valued, not demonised

In short, CO2 is plant food. As a matter of fact, CO2 emissions from industrial processes of the last two centuries have been highly beneficial to plant growth. Scientific studies show that CO2 has played a significant role in the re-greening of the earth after abnormally low CO2 levels had limited much of the planet’s vegetation due to CO2 starvation.

Even the remarkable increase in global food production of the past century has been made possible by higher levels of CO2, along with moderately warmer temperatures and modern farming practices.

Scientific American reports that the CO2 fertilization effect in natural ecosystems like forests is very evident. In a set of experiments, scientists artificially doubled CO2 from pre-industrial levels which “increased trees’ productivity by around 23 per cent.”

Francis Moore of the University of California, Davis, says, “For most of the other plants humans eat – including wheat, rice and soybeans – having higher CO2 will help them directly… Doubling CO2 from pre-industrial levels does boost the productivity of crops like wheat by some 11.5 per cent and of those such as corn by around 8.4 per cent.”

Artificially elevating CO2 levels in greenhouses has proven to be a game changer in many parts of the world. Increasing CO2 concentrations to more than 1,000 parts per million from the ambient level of about 400 ppm has helped greenhouse farms improve productivity by 20 to 30 per cent....<<<Read More>>>...

Is A Carbon Tax What We Really Want?

[Collective Evolution]: The Carbon Tax (and its sinister partner the Cap-and-Trade market) is the only "solution" that our leaders are proposing for Climate Change.

Is it not time to question specific 'solutions' to global problems that seem to always benefit the elite, and consider what might be proposed if the health and prosperity of humanity was really the sole concern?

If you are a person who actively supports the implementation of a worldwide carbon tax, it is likely that you have humanity’s best interests at heart. If you have participated in climate marches in order to help speed up the implementation of the carbon tax within your country, you are walking your talk.


In supporting a carbon tax, your recommendation is that the citizens of each country should be willing to contribute some more of their own wealth to their government in order to enact their regional or national carbon tax scheme.

Another way of saying this is that you are advocating for citizens of the world to be willing to experience an overall decline in their current standard of living in order to implement the global carbon reduction targets of the Paris Accords. This is simple economic math...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

The worst idea ever? Genetically engineered plants will deplete the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, causing a mass die-off of food crops and rainforests

[Natural News]: Carbonphobia is sweeping the globe as leftists continue to fear-monger about the “horrors” of carbon dioxide (CO2), and the “need” to eradicate it in order for “global warming” to end.

And their latest “solution” to the “problem” is to unleash new varieties of genetically modified (GMO) plants that have the engineered ability to soak up CO2 and make it “disappear.”

Reports indicate that “scientists” in California are currently developing these GMO plants, which they claim will absorb more “greenhouse gases” like CO2 and help to stop “man-made climate change.”

An Al Jazeera article that made this announcement is short and to the point, revealing that carbonphobia is even more severe of an epidemic than we ever could have imagined. People calling themselves “scientists” are busy trying to reengineer the entire world in such a way as to prevent a “climate catastrophe” that doesn’t even exist...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
