Glow-BULL Warming

I thought that, in light of our nationwide wintry blast, I would bring a bit of a scientific nature concerning carbon dioxide and plant growth. Keep in mind that before the onset of the much villified industrial age, the CO2 levels had gotten down to 278 ppm.

>CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)IMPROVES PLANT GROWTH AND QUALITYResearch has shown that in most cases rate of plant growth under otherwise identical growing conditions is directly related to carbon dioxide concentration.
The amount of carbon dioxide a plant requires to grow may vary from plant to plant, but tests show that most plants will stop growing when the CO2 level decreases below 150 ppm. Even at 220 ppm, a slow-down in plant growth is significantly noticeable.
Colorado State University conducted tests with carnations and other flowers in controlled CO2 atmospheres ranging from 200 to 550 ppm. The higher CO2 concentrations significantly increased the rate of formation of dry plant matter, total flower yield and market value." (This from the Home Harvest Garden Supply Website)

It would seem that the evil capitalists might have preserved life as we know it by releasing many millions of tons of the horrid pollutant CO2!
Keep in mind, ALL of the carbohydrates you eat, and all of the carbon in the proteins you eat, and all of the carbon in the fatty acid you eat, come from atmospheric CO2.
Folks, global warming and climate change are simply devices being used to scare you into compliance. The climate has and will always change. That is the only constant in climate, change.
Increasing CO2 and temperature on our little planet will result in much higher plant growth rates and much more land in the temperate zones. In other words, global warming would be a good thing for humanity. The only real problem with this rosy idea, is, dagnab it, our warming period seems to be over for a while. Remember, it ws the Little Ice Age that wiped out the Vikings and plunged Europe into the dismal Dark Ages (with a little help from the Church!)
Learn the facts before you drink anybody's Koolaid. And, try to stay warm!

And above all remember, "If government is the answer, it is a stupid question.
