Net Zero

Just saw another brainwashing ad for NET ZERO, it's one of the greatest cons in human history trying to make people believe Co2 gas is a pollutant... it is not a pollutant it is the gas of life, if Co2 levels get below about 150ppm all plant life dies because Co2 is basically oxygen for for plants that means everything dies. The nonsense argument that there is too much Co2 because of human activities is BULLSHIT....There was between 1,000 to 10,000 ppm of Co2 for hundreds of millions of years because of a lot more volcanic activity and gases being released into the atmosphere, before the industrial revolution it got down to about 280ppm because the earth's crust is cooling and getting thicker that means less volcanic activity probably a good reason why there are so many deserts in the world some of which have fossilised logs from vast forests from the long periods of time when there was much more Co2 in the atmosphere, now its up to about 420ppm because of human activities, so how is this bad?. Why is it that its only the weak, gullible and easily lead people of the world that believe this nonsense?????

Precisely!!!! I've been saying the same here on HC for ages!
Co2 is the life blood of every living organism. We all consist of carbon the element which is a requirement for all things organic. And we are organic and so around 40% carbon for that matter!!! So how can a pollutant be so important? Well for starters it isn't a pollutant but an essential naturally occurring gas in our atmosphere, being in trace proportions and yet essential for the growth of plants and all other living organism on this planet. However, it's plants that directly utilize Co2 in the process of photosynthesis, which then in turn produces the life required oxygen. No co2, no oxygen! That's how important Co2 is! Not only that but from Co2 we get carbon the element, which is once again brought about through the process of photosynthesis, when energy is created and stored in the form of an organic substance called glucose.(sugar)
Glucose is the energy source that is then oxidized during the process of respiration to produce energy to drive all our bodily functions and in the process generates a by product Co2. It's all part of the carbon cycle! It all gets recycled! What you need to understand is that you can't create anymore carbon than actually exists on our planet. It's the nature of matter! Matter is neither created nor destroyed!
So can't you see the same processes used to create our energy requirements (electricity) when utilizing coal or natural gas is the same as with us humans . We burn an energy source, so It's exactly the same!!!
Are we going to put a ban on humans eating food which is our only source of energy? After all we burn it in the process of respiration!
See, there is absolutely NO difference!!!!
And we are being forced to alter our way of life for a complete an utter fraud in the name of climate change! What a joke!
Pity we haven't many politicians and on both sides that have even half a brain!
Just look at Bowen with his pea brain!!! Or is that half!!!
And just a further note for all those climate change worshipers, Co2 is no more a green house gas than oxygen or nitrogen, which are in massive proportions compared with Co2 at 0.042%!!!
Pity science in schools has given way to the unnatural theories of gender and other Woke ideologies! But that's the distorted view of the world through the eyes of the not so bright left in our society!
