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.

CO² 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:

origins: here and here

If 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 vigor. 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 fear-mongers 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.
