Carbon dioxide, lifeblood of our planet : Comments

By Ken Calvert, published 22/11/2021

That's carbon dioxide as we breathe out. In at 400ppm and out at 4000, CO2 is an essential part of our life.

The author craves sense to the position of nonsense.

But in the panicked trenches of the climate change cultists, sense has evaporated along with logical thought.
The world of fear is their world. The lack of self confidence the drover of the retreating defeated.

Like Madam Yoko, a legendary monarch of the Mende people, the task of spreading panic and lies, became increasingly impossible, along with her attempts at denying her femininity.

The warriors of truth lie in ambush. Let the defeated die alone, show no mercy!

Yes. We know. It's been said time and time again. But there is no point trying to convince the narcissistic psychopaths of the climate clique. Their disease prevents them from listening; and the great unwashed are too stupid and lethargic to take back control through the ballot box. While people in this rooted country continue to vote LNP, ALP and even the Greens, we will continue heading for oblivion.

Consider UAP, One Nation or the Liberal Democrats if you don't want to end up like China. You will probably still get one of the two major moron parties, but with a minority government status, they would have to rely for their survival on the other three. And, boy oh boy, do they want survive for the big bucks and privilege.

What if there is another human factor or activity that is causing global climate change and global warming, a factor which is never mentioned.

For most of the history of the planet it was more or less a closed energy system with the amount of incoming energy coming from the sun. Whatever the various changes in the climate and weather patterns etc were at any given time period (large or small) the amount of energy driving the planetary systems was more or less stable.

Beginning with the industrial revolution much energy or what Thom Hartmann calls Ancient Sunlight was trapped in coal, perhaps oil and of course trees too, began to be released into the global system. And of course more recently by nuclear power and hydro-power too.

Which is to say more and more amounts of now free energy began to be released into an otherwise more or less stable relatively closed system.
In the now time of the "21st" century the amount of such free energy being released into the biosphere is hugely enormous.

What if the means of (to coin a metaphor) letting off steam (energy)out beyond the planetary system is now being blocked or trapped by the increasing amounts of both C02. And the huge amounts of methane too which is the case in the Tundra regions of Siberia and elsewhere too in the Arctic circle.

Carbon dioxide emissions do not figure with Australian voters. Their top concerns are:

More things to be covered by Medicare.
Aged Care.
Australian manufacturing.
Health Care support.
Jobs.

Renewable energy is 15th. on their list.

Net Zero by 2050 scrapes in at No. 39!

Bloody hell, really?

Are these "CO2 is good" articles still getting a running?

Mate it really is time to catch up. Excess CO2 creates warming conditions which are, and going to, cause significant disruption to our way of life, yet you are still wallowing around in what is essentially a 'CO2 is plant food therefore it must be good' meme.

Lifeblood!? true to a point. As a heavier than air gas. CO2 is also known as marsh gas that can and does collect in hollows. And at concentrations above 21% can asphyxiate any of the unwary unfortunate enough to transverse the area during a wind calm! Humans included!

For us, our lifeblood is also heavier than air oxygen! Plantlife absorbs CO2 and aspires oxygen during daylight hours And CO2 at night as some unfortunate predatory insects have found out.

CO2 is now concentrated in the atmosphere at record highs and in uncharted territory! It never ever needed to be that high to support plant life as a lifeblood!

It is for plant life a super fertilizer that promotes plant life. And as it does, the additional turbocharged growth asperates more moisture as water vapour into the environment. And moisture acts like a thermal blanket that traps radiant heat. And because this is essentially what occurs in greenhouses! It is called the greenhouse effect! And CO2 greenhouse gas!

Just as employed scientists told their asbestos miner employers one thing and the public another! So too, fossil fuel company employees, ditto the tobacco industry! This is what has, I believe, occurred here? As rubbish masquerading as informed and literate educational material?
