If carbon
dioxide is so bad for the planet,
why do
greenhouse growers buy CO2 generators
to double plant
growth...?
For only "pennies a day," any greenhouse owner can produce
CO2
to help increase plant yields in their greenhouses.
That's the message on CO2
generators sold by greenhouse supply companies across the United
States and Canada.
"1,500 ppm [of carbon
dioxide] can be achieved... these generators automatically
provide the carbon dioxide needed to meet maximum growing
potential for only pennies a day," the ad says.
View it yourself in this
picture far below, taken from a greenhouse supply magazine.
CO2 generators "improve plant quality" and "increase production."
They're made in the USA
and run on propane or natural gas, turning fossil fuels into carbon
dioxide.
Why does this work to radically improve plant growth, health and
yields? Because - are you ready for the truth? - CO2 is a
plant NUTRIENT.
Nope, it's not a pollutant that threatens human civilization as has
been ridiculously claimed by global warming doomsday pushers. CO2
actually increases plant yields, accelerates "re-greening" and
improves reforestation of the planet.
And while today's
atmosphere contains only 400 ppm of carbon dioxide, CO2
generators can help raise that level to 1500 ppm inside greenhouses,
thereby accelerating plant growth and food production.
Here's the ad
so you can see it for yourself
If CO2
is so bad for the planet, why do greenhouses pay to produce it?
If CO2 was so terrible for the planet, then installing a
CO2 generator in a greenhouse would kill the plants.
But scientists and even
governments actually recommend supplementing CO2 in
greenhouses in order to boost plant growth and food production.
"The benefits of
carbon dioxide supplementation on plant growth and production
within the greenhouse environment have been well understood for
many years,"
says the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
"CO2 increases productivity through improved plant
growth and vigor.
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... increasing the CO2
level to 1,000 ppm will increase the photosynthesis by about 50%
over ambient CO2 levels."
In fact, as recent
scientific studies have shown, the slight rise in CO2
levels of the atmosphere has actually helped
re-green deserts and
arid areas, accelerating the growth of trees, shrubs and grasses
which produce the oxygen human needs to breathe.
Attacking carbon dioxide is hate speech against Mother Nature
The more you really examine the scientific truth about carbon
dioxide rather than the politically-charged "hate speech" against
Mother Nature being spewed by
people like Al Gore, the more
you realize CO2 is a crucial nutrient for the Earth's
environment and ecosystem.
In fact, the vast
majority of all the CO2 released into the atmosphere is
produced by Mother Nature via animals in the ocean.
Anyone who criticizes CO2
is attacking ocean life and condemning trillions of aquatic
creatures who exhale carbon dioxide as part of their natural
respiration. (Should they all be fined?)
As a society interested in reforestation, expanding the diversity of
plant life, nourishing trees and re-greening deserts, we should no
longer tolerate anyone engaged in hate speech against Mother Nature
and CO2.
Those who attempt to
demonize this critical nutrient for the planet are engaged in a kind
of hate-motivated racism against plants.
If it's not okay to condemn someone for being black, why is it okay
for people like Al Gore to engage in endless hate speech against all
the living beings that are green?
Besides, all those people who keep sounding the alarm on CO2
are being too negative all the time.
Nobody spews more doom
and gloom than Al Gore and the global warming crowd who paint
apocalyptic pictures of Earth's future if we all don't start paying
carbon taxes to the super rich.
Stop being so
negative...!
They need to practice more positivity and repeat to themselves
affirmations like:
"CO2 is a
nutrient for forests."
"CO2 is produced by ocean life."
"CO2 brings balance to the global ecosystem."
"CO2 is to plants as oxygen is to humans."
"CO2 can help transform barren deserts into sustainable
forests."
Perhaps by staying
positive, the
global warming fearmongers and doom-and-gloomers can
calm down, take a few breaths (with extra CO2) and recognize that
what's good for plants is good for the planet.
In fact, I'm going to hyperventilate after writing this article just
to generate a little extra CO2 for the world. It's my gift to Al
Gore.
For the record
- NO, I don't support burning fossil fuels
The No. 1 criticism of this story by the brainwashed hoards of Al
Gore cult worshippers will be that I must have been paid big bucks
by the coal industry to write this article.
Don't be ridiculous. I'm the record - for at least a decade - having
exhaustively condemned the burning of fossil fuels.
Even though the
CO2 they release into the atmosphere is actually a nutrient, they
release many other pollutants such as sulfur and mercury (from
coal).
Scrubbers in the USA make U.S. coal plants the cleanest in
the world, but China's coal plants are truly sickening pollution
factories.
I also believe it's time to get humanity off the petrochemical habit
and onto something cleaner and more renewable such as low-energy
nuclear reactions (LENR), formerly called "cold fusion."
Recent
analysis has confirmed, yet again, that
cold fusion is real and
practical.
Cold fusion could be harnessed and used in place of coal
to heat large quantities of water that drive steam turbines which
generate electricity.
In time, all of America's coal power plants could be switched over
to cold fusion.
Similarly, if improved battery technology comes
along, gasoline-powered vehicles could be switched over to
electricity, and if that electricity is powered by cold fusion, then
it's clean all the way through the energy supply chain.
Fossil fuels are dirty business:
they're dirty to extract from the
ground, dirty to transport and dirty to burn.
But the CO2 they
produce is not a pollutant:
it's a nutrient that's desperately
needed by trees, grasses and shrubs all around the world...
So while
there are lots of reasons to oppose the burning of fossil fuels
around our planet, CO2 is not legitimately one of them.
If all this talk makes you hyperventilate, then feel free to
experience a hefty dose of self-inflicted guilt that you can
alleviate only by sending all your money to Al Gore for all the
carbon dioxide you're generating...
