Climate change issues all center around increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere, however what is seldom mentioned by climate alarmists is the fact that CO2 can be both a benefit as well as a detriment. From the climate alarmism point of view CO2 is nothing but bad. But that’s really not true.
On episode 99 of Climate Change Roundtable, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken examine this issue as well as look at two new reports that have just been released:
- A Climate Science Team Report on the Scientific Validity of EPA’S 2009 GHG Endangerment Finding – Climate- Science.press
- Wyoming and Climate Change: CO2 Should Be Celebrated, Not Captured – CO2 Coalition
Plus, we will also have our regular weekly feature, Crazy Climate News – where we look at some of the most absurd climate alarmism stories of the week.
Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (12 p.m. CT) to get the latest news and join the chat to ask questions of your own. You can also watch the recording later at the same link.

Benefit:
1. More rain is not a problem.
2. Warmer weather is not a problem.
3. More arable land is not a problem.
4. Longer growing seasons is not a problem.
5. CO2 greening of the earth is not a problem.
6. There isn’t any Climate Crisis.
It’s all propaganda, no substance when it comes to the dangers of using fossil fuels.
And it always completely ignores the gargantuan BENEFITS of using fossil fuels, without which modern civilization would not exist.
This lovely mild winter has saved Europe a great deal of money. Can we have more, please.
“….however what is seldom mentioned by climate alarmists is the fact that CO2 can be both a benefit as well as a detriment…..”
How can CO2 be a detriment?
It’s not a greenhouse gas (greenhouses don’t work by trapping radiation).
CO2 does have a mild warming effect, which is a huge benefit. Most of the modern global warming resulted from the planet’s recovery from the Little Ice Age.
It’s a green gas. It’s what makes the planet green. And yet the climate change cult calls it “polution”! Completely mad.

The benefits of increased atmospheric CO2 are obvious, substantial and already evident. The dangers are not evident. Only suggested poorly by some observations and not significant. They are only predicted by poor scientific methods that are unlikely to be reliable.
It is a narrative by the elite and governments of the elite as well as profit seeking corporations and institutes of learning to maintain and increase their power over the masses.
