Global Warming

[Jovial_Monk]

And CO2 is PLANT FOOD!

But the higher the CO2 the lower the nitrogen intake by plants. That means less protein and that is serious.

History shows that higher CO2 is beneficial for agriculture and plant life. Whether it is responsible for panic merchant runaway piss your pants is already discredited- so no need to rush into 'acting' . Fact.

I do find it ironic that the panic merchants refer to mitigating CO2 emissions as 'acting''.
We MUST 'act' now
'Inaction' is not an option

False behavior; pretense.
the art or occupation of performing fictional roles
to feign; counterfeit: to act outraged

The record shows that with increasing CO2 plants take in less nitrogen. This means plants can form less protein. We eat some of that protein, directly from veges or indirectly by letting a cow or pig etc eat the plants and we then kill and eat the animal.

Less protein means the additional bulk of plant matter does not benefit us if we don’t get enough protein, enough amino acids.

So it is a very good idea to reduce CO2 emissions.

Planetary history says you are completely wrong.

(NaturalNews) Thank goodness carbon dioxide levels are finally rising ever so slightly in our atmosphere, bringing much-needed carbon dioxide to the plants and forests of the world which have been starving for CO2. The lack of CO2 in the atmosphere is one of the most devastating limiting factors for plant growth and reforestation of the planet, and at just 400ppm -- that's just 400 micrograms per kilogram -- carbon dioxide is so low that Earth's plant life can barely breathe.

Let me clarify three things before we even get into the story:

#1 - NO, I do not support the coal and oil industry, and in fact I think they are terrible polluters of our planet for lots of reasons that have nothing to do with CO2. As it turns out, all the coal and oil being burned across our world right now only slightly impacts CO2 levels, especially when compared with CO2 emissions by ocean life. So my support of CO2 as an essential plant nutrient in no way is any kind of endorsement of the oil and coal industries. My long track record of activism against corporate monopolists is irrefutably solid.

#2 - YES, CO2 is an essential plant nutrient. Despite all the idiotic beliefs of people who have been brainwashed by Al Gore into believing scientific mythologies, higher CO2 levels support faster plant growth and the re-greening of our planet, period! Anyone who disagrees with this is flatly uninformed, brainwashed or just plain ignorant of plant biology (and that's a lot of people). Recent science is proving that rising CO2 levels are, in fact, expanding plant growth and reforestation around the world. Read Increase in Carbon Dioxide Levels "Greening" the Deserts at NatureWorldNews.com or read the press release from the original researchers out of Australia who documented this correlation. And everybody needs to read http://www.PlantsNeedCO2.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

#3 - The current level of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere is 400ppm. By comparison, Oxygen exists in the atmosphere at 210,000ppm. When you exhale, your own breath contains 40,000ppm of CO2, and if you know anything about emergency first aid, then you know that breathing this 40,000ppm of CO2 into another person's body (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) is a lifesaving action. It's not uncommon for CO2 to reach levels of 3000ppm in homes, schools and offices. OSHA allows workers to work in environments with up to 5000ppm of CO2. (Because, again, oxygen is present at 210,000ppm, vastly out-weighing the CO2.)

So all this talk of carbon dioxide threatening the entire planet at just 400ppm -- less than one-half of 1/1000th of the air -- is pure nonsense. Total quack science fearmongering.

In fact, most of what we've all been told about CO2 over the pat few years is a complete lie. It's time to stop believing these lies and wake up to reality. Most importantly, stop defending the CO2 / global warming hoax. Yes, CO2 is rising, but it's mostly from non-human activity, and rising levels actually support forests and plants everywhere.

How did I "wake up" to this information? It's simple: I used to be a believer in the CO2 hoax until I really began to study plant physiology and aquaponics production. Only then did I discover that CO2 is a vital nutrient for plant growth and that levels of CO2 in the atmosphere were radically deficient for optimal reforestation and plant biology. My awakening to this in no way means I endorse coal or oil industries, both of which are dirty polluters of the planet. But I am no longer allowing myself to be conned by the likes of Al Gore who has successfully convinced far too many people that their own breath is a global pollutant that needs to be regulated and taxed.

The CO2 scam is nothing more than a global tax moneymaking scheme being pushed by people who hope to get rich off our collective guilt for a problem that's entirely fabricated and fictional.

[Jovial_Monk]

Errrr no.

Get a couple of good books out the library “The Carboniferous Era for senior Primary Schools” might be a good one. See what sort of trees grew then.

In a glass house nitrogenous fertiliser can be delivered to the plants to make up for the lack in a glass house artificially kept a slightly higher than normal CO2 rates, bit harder to do that for the northern australian cattle stations, etc.

By far the best is to reduce emissions. There is the problem of acidification of the oceans, as another complication, etc.

[Jovial_Monk]

That silly denialist crap doesn’t mention the N2 uptake or ocean acidification, you see? Better leave it for the adults to deal with.

[IQS.RLOW]

I'll put your defence of the AGW scam in the same basket as your defence of the ALP as a good govt not falling apart and on track to romp it in come sept

How's your $500 receipt coming along? Uploaded it yet?

Farmers who have to adapt to climate change they don’t believe in

The thing is, a lot of the people growing that food refuse to accept that there is any threat.

Farmers arent as stupid as inner city latte sipping leftards
