What a wonderful and beautiful world we live in thanks to the scenery from an abundance of lovely trees! These trees depend on carbon dioxide — and we are very grateful for the gift of oxygen we receive from them. It’s really quite simple and yet quite amazing.
As you may be aware, there is false message that man is creating too much carbon dioxide. This is a dangerous narrative, as all vegetation needs an abundance of carbon dioxide to thrive. We hope you will explore all of the data to truly understand this. Please explore more at CO2Coalition.org.
When eating tonight’s dinner, remember that everything on your plate came there from CO2. Not really – there is also water and salt ..
Just remember that every carbon atom in your
body was once CO2 in the atmosphere.
Not quite.. you will hate me.
In any case, isn’t balanced science/reporting as important as a balanced diet?
i.e. There should be going on 40+ other elements off the Periodic Table on your plate – it is their near complete vanishment from everyone’s plates that has occasioned this climate science insanity. And this video.
I looked closely, was it meant for Greta, bless her, – but I saw no CO₂.
How much did you see? grams. tonnes. ppms, petacrumz, zettacarats.
What I did see (the human animal cannot lie even when it is lost in a childish dreamstate of Magical Thinking) – what I did see was plenty water.
Lots and lots and lots of water
I didn’t see anything to eat either – unless you were gonna ‘Go All Roman Warm Period‘ and eat those little birds?
Not even any (real actual) cherries – plenty virtual ones though.
OK there were sunflowers, barleys, corn (headed for the anaerobic digester), birch trees, rainbows (sigh, that damned water photobombs everywhere) but nothing for human critters to eat.
Unless they want all the types of cancers, diabetes 2 & 3, autoimmune calamities and dementias.
And nobody, not even beavers, eats conifer trees and we saw plenty of them. What is the message there?
Typically spoken by farmers (when chatting to dreamy-eyed tourists) of Cumbria UK:
“Aye lad, tiz a nice enough view in the summertime orlreet, but it disney pay the rent. Come back in February.”
They never do.
Attached is some random photo you can get from anywhere around this world, we visit Montana today
Two things to note especially:
NB: The absence of any rainbow – maybe there’s some CO₂ there though so everything’s just fine. What about water – how much water is in Montana?
see for yourself
Right. But relevance to climate change?
Actually you were right without the second qualifying statement. Yes there is much that we consume that isn’t derived directly from CO2 but all of our food would not exist without CO2 as the basic source of biological carbon chains. Those carbon chains form the base of all the structural and functional components of life (carbon-based life forms as per Captain Kirk). They are the backbone of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Without those components there would be no food on the plate. Carbon is the molecular skeleton of all life and therefore all food. The various minerals, vitamins and other critical elements wouldn’t find their way into our food and our bodies without CO2 as a starting point.
That’ll get ya kicked of youtube.
it’s satanic! 🙂
Photosynthesis however isn’t simple. It’s mind-bendingly complex, thanks to its evolution.
Off topic: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it.
Regards,
Bob
Very nice.
To Charles Rotter: Yep.
CO2 — The precious, life-giving, beneficial trace gas.
Co2 is Gods gift to all living things. THAT is why leftards hate it.
25% forest expansion in 30yrs as of 2014! “The Great Greening” ^тм and more than doubling of food harvests on less land, courtesy of fossil fuels and ~1° of warming since 1850. This growth is also more drought resistant.
Moreover, photosynthesis is an endothermic process (cooling), and even more, is an exponential process -higher CO2 permits fringing growth inwards into arid areas. These factors suggest a system heading for an equilibrium or flattening of temperatures, aided by the contining logarithmic diminishing of any radiative effect thought to be occurring.
Amen to this video! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Charles and everybody here!

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds
https://www.nasa.gov/technology/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth-study-finds/
An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

Global Green Up Slows Warming
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146296/global-green-up-slows-warming
“The paper’s authors reviewed more than 250 published articles that have used satellite data, modeling, and field observations, to understand the causes and consequences of global greening. Among the key results, the authors noted that on a global scale greening can be attributed to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Rising levels of carbon dioxide increase the rate of photosynthesis and growth in plants.”
All of the above will surely be shown at the ‘confab’ of 70,000.
“I hear babies cry
I watch them grow

Sorry Louis, modern education methods ensure they’ll never learn anything of practical value unlike when you were at school.
Most of the comments here and some posts that I submitted in the past focused on terrestrial plants. I’ve been researching the effects of CO2 on the phytoplankton at the base of the food chain in the marine environment. No great surprise, but the CO2 fertilization effective appears to be clearly evident there as well. Additionally, one study shows the the reduction on sea ice extent in the North Pacific allows more sunlight to penatrate upper levels of the ocean and with the additional CO2 further boost the phytoplankton population.
Do you have any links for that?

Sorry for the delay. Thanksgiving Day guests arrived just after I entered the comment. One correction; it was the north Atlantic, not the north Pacific.
The reduction of Arctic sea ice since the 1979 extreme, has also allowed many other aquatic species to return to feast on this bountiful harvest of phytoplankton.
Species not seen since the MWP are returning.
This can only be a very good thing !
Turkey, Yams, green bean casserole, biscuits, all ready in the next 15 minutes or so out here at 7200 feet above sea level and awaiting a winter storm — table’s set. Happy Thanksgiving Charles, Anthony, and all who frequent here.
Green bean casserole and sweet potato crunch, more a desert than side dish, are my wife’s usual dishes for the big family get together.
Well liked by all.
Louis! I’m going to play the video several times a day. Thanks.
I keep thinking of the original Star Trek series, when the Enterprise was always found searching for carbon-based life forms whenever they were scanning a new planet.
And I also recall Bones, examining a corpse…”It’s dead, Jim”.
Without C02, we’ll all be dead.
A bit off topic but not far I think.
I have a question.
After the record snowfalls in the mountains out west I expected that they would have a hell of a wild fire season. Wet springs usually result in more wildfires.
All that melt water should have caused a boom in the growth of seasonal vegetation. Vegetation that grows and then dies and dries in the summer making excellent tinder and fuel for wildfires. But the fires never came.
And though the wildfires in Canada were all over “the news” this year, there was little said about wildfires in the US. And that is because 2023 turned out to have had the least burn acreage since 1998.
Lowest Burn Acreage Of The Century | Real Climate Science
Why? Why was this wildfire season in the US a very mild one? Was it because of the cycling from La Nina to El Nino? Was it at least in part because of a wet summer? Why?
Maybe the pyromaniacs lost interest? Vacationed in Canada?
I’ve been measuring the precipitation in west central Colorado for 15 years or so. Yes, we had a lot of snow last year and the lack of bears seeking fruit from my trees this fall proved the flourishing natural growth and berry production. I see the difference being the wet June we had, Normally the precip stops after Memorial Day until late July when the local ‘monsoons’ move in. Not this year though. I’ve noticed that you live in Anderson, IN. I spent a bit of time there in the 50s, when we lived in Huntington and my father had an engineering shop in Anderson. I assume I hung out there in the summers, though it was so long ago I don’t recall.
Yep. Actually I live close to Anderson now and not in it, but that is where I grew up and went to school. Once world HQ for Delco Remy and Guide Lamp divisions of General Motors with a total of 18 different GM plants located here: Now there is not a single GM plant here. Now more of a Bedroom community for Indianapolis. Once the location of the first true Shopping Mall, now that is gone too.
Still a couple of Engineering companies and Machine shops here that do national and international business, but the ones that had automotive as their primary customer base are also gone.
Wind is a major component for large, destructive wild fires. We were fortunate last season. With fuel load continuing to increase odds are we will continue to experience an upward trend in wild fires in future years.
Did you open the link provided and check out the graphs? The fires we have been having during my 68 year lifetime generally do not compare to the massive burn acreage that was recorded in the 40’s and before.
Next possible major extinction event — CO2 starvation due to winding down of volcanic activity.

You are not being serious, are you?
