The Germans apparently read this and are diligently cutting down forests to make way for the clean, efficient, ecologically pure, Chinese wind turbines. They'll show you tree huggers.

It’s well known among those familiar with plant cultivation that cannabis and other growers often pump CO₂ into their grow spaces to boost yields.

Yes, tomato growers boost the CO2 levels in greenhouses up to 800 or 1000ppm to give 80% more yield. And humans work in those conditions with no problem.

Precisely! It’s obviously not some dangerous pollutant, it’s plant food. The only people panicking about CO₂ are the ones who don’t understand how biology works.

Maybe that explains the association with transgender woo woo, since they don't understand how biology works..

Ah, if only that was true. I don’t share your optimism. Too many people are invested in the current dogma.

Steve, you may be right, but these people are the ones who need the light of the truth most of all…so we keep trying to reach them.

When I mention the figures and facts about the deadly CO2 to people they look shocked and, unfortunately, generally unbelieving. Telling them that CO2 levels do not correlate with rising temperatures is usually an ask too far!
