The claims that CO2 is a pollutant responsible for climate change may be coming to an end. On Wednesday, The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article about some changes in the narrative regarding CO2. We need to remember that some farmers pump CO2 into their greenhouses in order to help the plants grow.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled<\/a> that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping emissions (methane, nitrous oxide, and some other stuff) are pollutants under the Clean Air Act and that the government has the authority to curb them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since then, the world has been subjected to numerous climate-related laws and treaties, along with assorted governmental, academic, and corporate pressures \u2014 all serving to hype the \u201cexistential threat\u201d that is climate change.\u00a0\u00a0The number-one culprit all along has been atmospheric carbon dioxide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is nothing inherently wrong with qualitative versus quantitative statements, but there has been an inordinate amount of hand-waving to explain away the failure over the last 50 years of global temperatures to rise nearly as fast as predicted by the climate alarmists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWatts Up With That<\/a>\u201d claims to be the \u201cworld\u2019s most viewed site on global warming and climate change,\u201d for which Collister Johnson recently wrote a short but powerful article<\/a> with an unassuming title: \u201cThe saturation effect questions the prevailing narrative on CO2.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over that last decade, several pedigreed scientists have performed qualitative analyses and experiments to disprove the assumption that \u201cincreases in atmospheric CO2 will cause a linear and dangerous increase in global temperatures.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In recent years, other prominent scientists have performed studies that confirm that this saturation effect causes minimal increases in temperature as CO2 levels rise. There is no linear relationship between rising CO2 levels and rising temperatures. This explains why the Earth \u201chas never experienced runaway warming in the past when CO2 levels were 5\u201310 times more concentrated than today.\u201d The planet was, however, more lush with vegetation than it is today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CO2 is our friend. It will help us feed the world’s population. Maybe that’s the reason the zero population people are so against it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
