Message To Al Gore CO2 Exposure Good For Crop Yields
If you think you are living in a Twilight Zone episode you may be right. Scientists in Germany have proven we need CO2. No kidding? A growing number of people now believe Al Gores attempt to convince people that carbon dioxide is our enemy is a fraud perpetrated on humanity and may lead to millions dying due to food costs and cuts in production. Al Gore who did nothing about Global Warming while he was Vice President for 8 years but cast the tie breaking vote on ethanol which has raised food prices 1000% in the third world. Gore is the poster boy for Marxist Environmental worshipers.
Gore has been given every Award the left can bestow on a man. A man who is cashing in on the hysteria he caused with his Sci Fi pic.”Inconvenient” is an understatement if all the taxes and life changes Gore and the EnviroMarxists want to impose on the average person are enacted. The American people are starting to react and soon the Democrats will no longer be able to continue to strangle the US and deny them their natural resources. Nancy Pelosi will not let one vote on drilling because she knows the Dems are on the wrong side of Americas interests again. At the same time China is putting 25,ooo cars a day on the road. And India will not be far behind….mpress
The dangerous rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may be troubling scientists and world leaders but it could prove to be a boon for plants, German researchers said Tuesday. Increasing exposure to carbon dioxide appears to boost crop yields, Hans-Joachim Weigel of the Johann Heinrich von Thuenen Institute for rural areas, forestry and fisheries in the central city of Brunswick told AFP.
“Output increased by about 10 percent for barley, beets and wheat” when the plants were subjected to higher levels of carbon dioxide, Weigel said. The Thuenen Institute, which has been monitoring the phenomenon in fields since 1999, trains CO2 jets on the plants so the gas reaches 550 parts per million in the air around them — the level expected in the atmosphere by 2050.
Weigel said the studies have indicated that while greater CO2 exposure appears to spur growth, it can also undermine the quality of the produce. He said the next step in the study would be to evaluate the effect of higher temperatures on plant growth — which scientists cite as another consequence of higher CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
Weigel said that while the institute’s findings may prove surprising to some, they are not intended to undermine the drive to slash CO2 emissions. “This research is not intended as an argument for doing nothing to curb the rise of CO2 levels,” he said. “It is to find out what the effects would be.” Source
Rush Limbaugh had a great monologue about this subject:
| RUSH: “Free-market principles to global warming.” Really sounds nice, doesn’t it? Free-market principles to global warming. After you’ve accepted a hoax, after you’ve accepted it’s indisputable that man is causing it? Free-market principles to global warming is a contradiction in terms. If there was manmade global warming, the free market would already be responding to it in a more vigorous way. Instead what we have is government telling industry what must be done, and industry reacting to it, because the Drive-Bys have convinced so many customers of all businesses that we face a dire threat, and these customers have been made to believe that they can stop the threat, and they can stop the warming, and they can make their lives matter, and they can count, and they can have meaning in their lives if they go with all this green stuff. And so businesses are simply going green as a marketing technique. This is what people think, fine, we’ll give it to them. The free market doesn’t respond on its own to false science, by the way.A free market would reject false science, for the most part, by definition. Now, this is all about attracting young voters, this is all about McCain — you talk about independents, social minded conservatives, it’s about getting younger voters as well, ’cause they’re among those that have seen Gore’s movie. They really think that all this is manmade. So you have Senator McCain echoing Algore and pretending there’s no dispute about manmade global warming. See, to me, this is historical. This is an historical chance to drive a wedge between the liberal environmental radicals and the blue-collar workers that Obama cannot get. Now this is the time for McCain to enhance the party, but instead he’s pandering. |
