The Greening of the Planet
3rd September 2023
Mother Earth is quite adept at carbon sequestration, and carries it out with great efficiency. A surplus of CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by green plants during photosynthesis, and stimulates the growth of additional plant biomass to take advantage of all the ambient CO2.
I don’t see why this is considered a bad thing. More CO2 leads to more plant growth. More plant growth means greater crop yields and more acreage put into cultivation. The planet produces more food, which means that fewer poor people will starve.
Mind you, that last part may not be considered a negative outcome by the “Visualize Industrial Collapse” crowd. When you consider the human race to be a harmful virus infecting Gaia, the starvation and death of billions of people is something to be desired.
For everyone but the depopulation fanatics, however, more food production is a good thing, and the increase in atmospheric CO2 is something to be applauded.
