Re: CO2 myth busted.


 

 carbon, it’s our best filtering agent, and Co2 is essential to all plants that make our oxygen which we 
turn into Co2. If there is less Co2, there will be less plants, and therefor less oxygen for animals.

A stable cycle that self corrects by its negative feedback loop. These mis-educated idiots who say
 CO2 is responsible for global warming have reversed a known cause with its effect to construct their flawed theory. 


 As we suspected all along....... !
 
 "But what if that wasn't true? What if CO2 were actually a planet-saving nutrient that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more nutritious, healthy plants?"
 
 "....greenhous e plants are "running out" of CO2. They are starving for it. And when you add it to food crops, you get higher yields, improved taste, shorter flowering times, enhanced pest resistance and other benefits."
 
 Explain that then, please - politicians! That's blown that source of revenue out of the water, hasn't it - and the stupid wind turbines?

CO2 myth busted: Why we need more carbon dioxide to grow


food and forests

(NaturalNews) If you talk to the global

warming crowd, carbon dioxide -- CO2 -- is the enemy of mankind. Any and all creation

of CO2 is bad for the planet, we're told, and its production must be strictly limited in

order to save the world.

But what if that wasn't true? What if CO2 were actually a planet-saving nutrient

that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more nutritious, healthy

plants?

CO2 is a vital nutrient for food crops

As it turns out, CO2 is desperately needed by food crops, and right now there is a

severe shortage of CO2 on the planet compared to what would be optimum for plants.

Greenhouse operators are actually buying carbon dioxide and injecting it into their

greenhouses in order to maximize plant growth.

The science on this is irrefutable. As just one example, the Ontario Ministry of

Agriculture and Food says:

CO2 increases productivity through improved plant growth and vigour. Some ways in

which productivity is increased by CO2 include earlier flowering, higher fruit yields,

reduced bud abortion in roses, improved stem strength and flower size.

Growers should regard CO2 as a nutrient.

If you want to understand why CO2 is an essential nutrient for food crop growth,

heck out this informative slide show. It explains that "CO2 may be repidly depleted

during crop production" daylight hours, because the plants pull all the CO2 out of the

air and use it in photosynthesis.

The CO2 found in modern-day atmosphere is 340ppm. But food crops would grow

far faster if the concentration ofCO2 were closer to 1000ppm, or roughly 300% higher

than current levels. In fact, most greenhouse plant production causes a

"CO2 depletion" to happen, shutting down photosynthesis and limiting food

production. As the "Carbon Dioxide in Greenhouses" fact sheet explains:

Ambient CO2 level in outside air is about 340 ppm by volume. All plants grow

well at this level but as CO2 levels are raised by 1,000 ppm photosynthesis

increases proportionately resulting in more sugars and carbohydrates available for

plant growth. Any actively growing crop in a tightly clad greenhouse with little or

no ventilation can readily reduce the CO2 level during the day to as low as 200 ppm.

Thus, greenhouse plants are "running out" of CO2. They are starving for it.

And when you add it to food crops, you get higher yields, improved taste, shorter

flowering times, enhanced pest resistance and other benefits.

Why we should pump carbon dioxide into greenhouses

This brings up an obvious answer for what to do with all the CO2 produced by power plants, office

buildings and even fitness centers where people exhale vast quantities of CO2. The answer is to 

build adjacent greenhouses and pump the CO2 into the greenhouses.

Every coal-fired power plant, in other words, should have a vast array of greenhouses surrounding it.

Most of what you see emitted from power plant smokestacks is water vapor and CO2, both essential

nutrients for rapid growth of food crops. By diverting carbon dioxide and water into greenhouses, the

problem of emissions is instantly solved becausethe plants update the CO2 and use it for

photosynthesis, thus "sequestering" the CO2 while rapidly growing food crops. It also happens to

produce oxygen as a "waste product" which can be released into the atmosphere, (slightly) upping

the oxygen level of the air we breathe.

This is a brilliant solution because humans want to live on a world with low CO2 that supports

frozen ice caps in order to keep ocean water levels low, but they want to eat a volume of food

that requires high CO2 for production. The answer is to concentrate CO2 into greenhouses

 where food production is multiplied by CO2 nutrition.

I'll bet you've never heard Al Gore talk about CO2 as "nutrition." He declares it a pollutant and

wants to tax you for producing it. But CO2 is actually a key nutritive gas for food crops.

Without carbon dioxide, we would all have starved to death by now.


Shutting down power plants to destroy America's power infrastructure

The U.S. government's solution to power plant emissions, however, is to just shut down

coal-fired power plants, causing rolling blackouts across the USA, especially during hot summer days.

The EPA has forced hundreds of power plants to shut down across the USA, achieving a loss of power

infrastructure that vastly exceeds what would even be possible by an enemy invasion o

f high-altitude warplanes dropping bombs.

The EPA, under the excuse of "saving the planet," is destroying America's power infrastructure

and leading our nation into a third-world scenario where power availability is dicey and

unsustained. It seems to be just one part of the overall plan to gut America's economy,

offshore millions of jobs, put everybody on welfare and destroy small businesses.

But what if we harnessed coal-fired power plants instead of shutting them down? What if we

used them as "CO2 generators" that fed CO2 into vast greenhouse operations that produced

organic, high-growth foods that could feed the nation? Coal-fired power plants can produce both

electricity and food nutrition at the same time.

Better yet, if you combine this concept with aquaponics, you get simultaneous production of plants

and fish while using no soil, no GMOs and one-tenth the water of conventional agriculture.

See, the solutions to all our problems already exist. The only reason we are suffering as a nation

is because political puppets try to brainwash us into believing complete falsehoods like,

"carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant" or "the people don't need healthy foods; they need

medications and vaccines." When societies believe falsehoods, they crumble and collapse.

That's where America is headed, of course. And it's all being accelerated by deceptive bureaucrats

who want to convince you that growing real food is bad and we should all be punished for exhaling

carbon dioxide, an essential nutrient for food crops. Carbon dioxide is not the enemy it's been

made out to be. It's actually plant nutrition that helps regrow rainforests, food crops and wetlands.

In fact, higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere would make the planetmore lush and abundant

 in terms of plant life, forests, trees and food crops.
