Good questions.

How can a person say they want more trees and at the same time want lower carbon-dioxide?


How can a person say they want to help trees, then support cutting them down to extinction?

High CO2 levels=Good for trees

High CO2 levels=Bad for mammals

Here are supposedly 32 facts and 32 pages.

I posted the first one.

It's easy to switch to the next page.




-----------------------------

140-million-year trend of dangerously decreasing CO2.

For the last 140 million years, CO2 levels fell precipitously & steadily to within about 30 ppm of the 150 ppm “line of death” below which plants can’t survive. Both the relatively short-term data from ice cores and much longer-term data going back 140 million years (Berner 2001) show an alarming downward trend toward CO2 starvation. The release of carbon dioxide by the use of fossil fuels has allowed humanity to increase concentrations of this beneficial molecule, and perhaps avert an actual CO2-related climate apocalypse.

A principal in Louisiana REALLY stepped in it; whatever happened to separation of church and state?

Consign that fool to the dunking stool.

Plants, animals, and fungi need each other (symbiosis) to survive.


An example symbiosis of a non-mammal, is a pollinating bee.

The bee gets pollen and the plant gets to produce seed.


An example symbiosis of a mammal, is a grass eating cow.

The cow eats grass and provides nitrogen to the plant.


Plants, animals, and fungi, benefit when carbon-dioxide increases in the atmosphere.

Let's hope it's right, because it's clear we will not be able to completely wean off fossil fuel. And China and India are probably not even trying [reasonable people have to agree unless you are a green-washing-hype sucker]

However, the current concern is that the carbon sink mechanisms are not keeping up with the level of CO2 now being released and what will be released with all the Green Energy Fakers out there

So, just letting you know you don't need to post anymore on this ... if I may say so, it's getting to the level of trolling

For all of you that believe that Trump called for the execution of Milley since after all you heard that on MSM.

Here is the actual quote from Truth Social.

"Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week. This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate! This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act."
I can just find no fault with this ... unless you want a kinder, gentler statement [for a guy who deserves it not]

I had tuned in to MSNBC/CNN around the time this was released and the claim being trumpeted by those people was that Trump had called for Milley to be executed! That's the kind of unfair spin on it that gets me winding up voting for a guy who I'd rather not, had I some choice

Milley also refused to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon that changed course as it flew over several US nuclear bases. He claimed it was not a spy balloon.

'Now, seven months later, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells "CBS News Sunday Morning" the balloon wasn't spying.'

'Chinese spy balloon gathered intelligence from sensitive U.S. military sites'

Miley banned in China.

News reports state a post-hoc analysis shows the balloon was not actually spying. Furthermore, shooting the thing down over the continental US would endanger property and human lives.

Trump called Milley a traitor. That's okay?
