If carbon dioxide is so bad for the planet, why do greenhouse growers buy CO2 generators to double plant growth?
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) 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 taken from a greenhouse supply magazine:

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:

Is 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 vigour. 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.
