CO2 The Gas of Life

[Happytrails]

A few days ago I watched a YouTube video of a recent presentation by Will Happer. WOW. What a performance by a man in his mid 80's. He puts forward a comprehensive scientific analysis of CO2's effect on the earth's climate and flora. The video is about an hour long and very detailed in spots but also very compelling. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in the science behind climate policy. The version I watched was on a fellow named Tom Nelson's channel but there are other hosts. I hope the moderators recognize the relevance this presentation has to commodity marketing.

C02 is a very important gas, it’s funny that the politicians that want less CO2 are the same woke bastards that want us gone, I guess it’s really not funny but I think you know what I mean.

water vapour and the sun is the real deciding factor in the earth’s temperature.

" Global warmers and CO2"


"A recent study with enhanced atmospheric CO2 in rice plots has pointed out that the higher CO2 led to reductions in protein and things like iron and zinc. The study did not mention the large yield increase — it’s all about picking bad news.

Really, folks should realize that nutrient balance is important. If we juice up the yield with more CO2 and do not add more N then of course the protein will go down. The same thing happens when we irrigate. Can anyone imagine feeding the hungry world without irrigation in dry areas?

It seems that it is the flavor of the day to treat our biggest plant nutrient as an enemy. Our food production relies on CO2."

.One of the areas that Happer details is how higher levels of CO2 make photosynthesis more water efficient.

I see the flat earth climate change deniers are busy again!

You still don't accept that rising CO2 levels are causing global temperatures to rise?

You might as well join Big Lentils flat earth club if you are going to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence!

Facts & data, got any, Chuck?

[shtferbrains]

So is the carbon tax a "price on pollution " if C02 is an essential plant nutrient?

[Happytrails]

Anyone who thinks that CO2 emissions are pollution is anti life. Same as the net zero crowd.

The focus is always on quantity.
But quality is negatively impacted.
