Carbon dioxide is plant food. It makes deserts green. It expands forests. It makes trees taller and stronger. Most important of all to we humans, it produces food crops with a higher yield. That's right, more carbon dioxide in the air is feeding millions in the Third World who would otherwise starve.
On the other side of the ledger ... there is no other side. The higher levels of CO2 presently in the air have been shown to have no negative consequences at all in spite of flawed warmist propaganda to the contrary. All the scare-mongering of the so called "climate scientists" has been proven to be false. CO2 has been much higher at times in the past history of the Earth than at present, and life was thriving at those times.
Yet the leftists and greenie fanatics want us to pay a fortune, and break the back of our economy, doing something that doesn't need to be done (lowering CO2 levels), can't be done by us alone in any case, and actually causes great harm to the planet.
