Very difficult to scam the public for $73 trillion more dollars if plants grow faster with CO2.

There are even folks with greenhouses buying CO2.


All other info can be deduced from that one fact.

You're quoting the Siera club? Might as well quote the Republican Party for Science authority.

One small can of Rotel, one pound of Velveeta cheese, a large bag of Doritos, and a bunch of CO2.

Bigger, better and tastier tomatoes with CO2

When CO2 gas is pumped into a greenhouse used to grow tomatoes, cucumbers or lettuce, it boosts photosynthesis, resulting in stronger, healthier plants and increased yields. Whereas normal air has a carbon dioxide concentration of around 400 ppm, most plants fare better in environments with carbon dioxide concentrations of between 600 and 1,000 ppm. When carbon dioxide is added to greenhouse air, it can help increase yields of tomato, cucumber and lettuce by as much as 25-30 per cent. Moreover, carbon dioxide fertilisation also produces earlier harvests and improves the ability of plants to resist disease and pests.

Crop record despite less sunshine

One tomato grower that has decided to put the technology to the test is Viken Tomater, based in southern Sweden. The company employs eight people and has an annual yield of some 260 tonnes of tomatoes. In 2017, Viken Tomater purchased a CO2-fertilisation solution, which consists of a carbon dioxide tank that pumps some 1,200 ppm of CO2 into the greenhouse.

“I had heard about solutions like this, but the numbers seemed too good to be true,” says Mats Olofsson in Viken Tomater. “However, with competition getting tougher, I decided to give it a go. It turns out the information I’d been given was spot on.”

Viken Tomater saw its yield increase by ten per cent. This was despite 2017 being one of the worst sunshine years on record in Sweden – a factor that would normally have made the yield smaller. Furthermore, Olofsson admits the 2017 crop was better than ever.
“The plants were stronger, so we had bigger, plumper, sweeter tomatoes. The customers even commented on how delicious they were,” he says.

CO2. Good for plants and soda and beer. Bad for animals. And bad for the atmosphere.

A natural part of the atmosphere. Without it in the atmosphere life as we know it could not happen. Really when are you going to take a science class?

What do animals eat?

I've taken more college science classes than you have taken all of the classes your entire academic career.

Too bad you didn’t learn anything from them.

If plants grow faster with higher CO2 ppm, then is climate change ideology (indirect taxation) racism?
