One other thought. When you talk about too much CO2 will kill plants, you're right. But that begs the question about how much CO2 will kill a plant. And that begs the question of what kind of plant. I don't know but I am guessing not all plants would die at a CO2 level that would kill other plants.
A carcinogen is only a carcinogen when it reaches the level that it causes cancer and that level is not the same for all carcinogen. There are items that we eat all the time that if eaten in a high enough concentration will give you cancer but no one would ever even think about eating that high of a concentration.
It is like decades ago when there was a scare about an artificial sweetener called saccharin. Saccharin was reported to cause cancer because they fed it to rats and the rats got cancer. What didn't get out was that the rats were given doses of saccharin that was much much more than any human would have ever consumed.
But there was one other big problem with saccharin, the after taste was awful. The scare caused scientists to come up with aspartame as a replacement to saccharin. My wife's friend has some DNA setting that makes aspartame taste awful and she cannot stand it but the majority of people have no problem with it.
What I cannot stand is the high fructose corn syrup they put in regular soda. There are a few sodas that well the real sugar version at a higher cost and those taste 1000 times better. Mexican Coca-Cola taste far better than American Coca-Cola because the Mexican bottling plant uses real sugar. That is why you see so much of it in America, because it taste better.
I think RFK Jr has gotten the Coca-Cola company to use real sugar in place of High Fructose Corn Syrup. Hopefully that will cause the competition to dump HFCS.
That is a weak analogy. First Ice Cream is not a heathy food. Eat too much and you will have health problems. But if you eat too much broccoli you're not going to have health problems.
Second, You are right about excessive CO2 levels harming plants. Excessive O2 levels will kill us. In fact just the normal amount of CO2 will eventually cause the end of us. We can't live without it but we can't live with it.
But there really isn't much CO2 in the atmosphere. In fact looking at the overall history of the planet we are is a huge CO2 deficit.
Our atmosphere consists of 80% nitrogen, 18% oxygen and 2% of all other gases. Of that 2% of other gases, 2% is CO2.
The levels that are predicted for CO2 to rise to is a blip on the radar.
AND there is no scientific correlation between increase CO2 levels and the warming of the planet. In fact the opposite is true. There have been times of extreme cold with higher levels of CO2. There have been times of hotter temperatures than now with lower CO2 levels. There are times where increase CO2 preceded a warming trend and times the warming trend preceded the CO2 rise.
The ONLY data that suggests the correlation is the data that comes from climate "scientists". The ones whom the government funds who have been given the results and have been told to build the science around it.
These are the ones who put thermometers around the world and weight them on which ones will show the data they want. If a thermometer does not cooperate with them then they ignore it.
These are the ones who watch a massive chunk of ice fall off of a glacier into the ocean and tell you that it was caused by melting and completely ignore that on both poles the ice level is actually increasing.
These are the ones who tell you that times are so desparate that polar bears are taking to the ocean to hunt food hoping you won't find out that hunting for food in the ocean is just another day in the life of a polar bear. They've been doing that as long as there have been polar bears.
These are the ones who tell you the science is settled. Which is the most asinine statement anyone can ever make about science. ESPECIALLY when the science is about prognosticating the future. Science must NEVER be settled. If that is how all scientific discoveries are then why aren't we still blood letting in hospitals to cure everything?
Science must never be settled or this is where we are stuck in our learning and nothing new can ever be learned.
Apparently???? How do you make that connection? Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum and a few others have just stopped talking about climate change and are now focusing on data centers.
It almost like climate change is not real. It is like it was a made up thing to gain power and control over the world. But now with data centers, if you control the information then that is even a better way to control the world. And with flock cameras going up everywhere the data centers can record everywhere you go.
I have no clue if Sam Altman has anything to do with that. So it seemed to me that you just picked a random AI business CEO. I haven't the slightest clue if Altman believes in climate change.
What I do know is that Bill Gates used to believe that climate change was an existential threat. Now he doesn't think climate change is that big of a deal. The same is true with the WEF.
Climate change was invented to try to fool the weak minded into fearing our future enough that they would support any type of legislation. The WEF had been planning on forcing everyone in the world to live in "smart cities" or "15-minute cities". The idea is that everything you need, grocery stores and jobs are at most 15 minutes away. The city would be divided up into sectors and you would need permission to leave your sector.
All of this was to stop climate change.
In case you were thinking this was just some wild conspiracy theory, everything I just told you is documented on the World Economic Forum website. When Biden was given control of the White House he sent John Kerry to the WEF and Kerry assured Klaus Schwab (WEF president) that Biden was fully onboard. There is a video of Kerry saying that to Schwab.
It is real. Democrats and lefties are oblivious to this on purpose. Because if a conservative brings it up then they would be more inclined to brush it off as a conspiracy theory.
What I don't know is if now those cities are going to be adjacent to a data center and we will be forced to live in a smart city so that the data centers can monitor our lives. I just know that there was a shift in priority and climate change is no longer and existential threat.
It never was an existential threat. If increased CO2 causes global temps to rise (which there is no actual evidence to make such a statement) then simple high school biology says increased temps and CO2 means longer growing seasons and more productive plants. Climate change would be beneficial.
That's definitely you on the floor but that picture on the wall looks nothing like George Floyd. You might want to recreate that meme because you totally screwed up.
