‘The Smokescreen of Carbon Pollution’
For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:12)
To environmental alarmists carbon dioxide is a pollutant and its existence in Earth’s atmosphere is one of the greatest threats facing our planet today. But if plants could talk, they would tell you a totally different story. To plants carbon dioxide is food, and right now they are begging for more.
According to Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com, “CO2 is desperately needed by food crops, and right now there is a severe shortage of CO2 on the planet compared to what would be optimum for plants.” He also notes that “greenhouse operators are actually buying carbon dioxide and injecting it into their greenhouses in order to maximize plant growth.”
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food supports this position- “CO2 increases productivity through improved plant growth and vigor… earlier flowering, higher fruit yields…improved stem strength and flower size.”
To keep carbon dioxide from being viewed in a positive light, environmental alarmists often shorten carbon dioxide to just ‘carbon.’ Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, founder of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, writes- “By calling carbon dioxide ‘carbon,’ they are fooling people. They raise specters of black soot that’s truly dangerous to health. Then they speak of a ‘carbon tax’ or a ‘carbon footprint’ for reducing carbon emission or carbon pollution.”
If anything, our plants would be a whole lot greener if we put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And the plants would breathe easier too!
