THE BENEFITS OF CO2 FROM BURNING FOSSIL FUELS Anyone interested in the impact of an increase in CO2 on earth, should view the 2 videos outlined below. Please click below or cut and paste into your URL. Once you view these 2 videos you will have a much better understanding of the beneficial impacts. The original from 1992 https://youtube/watch?v=uuhkS5flvZk the follow up from 1998 https://youtube/watch?v=27XbnyWC5WM If we double the CO2 content in our atmosphere from the present 300 / 400 ppm, crop yield would increase by about 30% / 50% depending on the crop while tree growth for lumber would be even more impressive. If we let CO2 drop below 200ppm, plants will start to die for lack of this necessary component. Crops could grow in the Sahara, and central Australia and the farmers in the mid-west USA would need less water than they use now. Whats the problem - get out there and burn fossil fuel - forget about windmills and solar panels - they dont generate any CO2 and plants need it badly. Additionally, the energy required to build, install and de commission a windmill requires more energy than that windmill will create in its lifetime. In prehistoric times, CO2 levels were at about 1,500 ppm and plant growth was rampant in the times of the dinosaurs. CO2 does not become hazardous to humans until it reaches between 150,000 and 300,000 ppm. Remember all our coal and oil came from those prehistoric times - the trees and animals died and the carbon from their bodies was trapped underground and reduced the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If we burn more fossil fuels, we will increase plant growth for timber and crops and be able to feed and house the world’s population better. Obama, Gore, Suzuki and the UN are doing a great disservice to the people of Earth in trying to reduce CO2 output.
