    I post science and the climate change deniers post unscientific opinion?
    Give up!

      Obviously C02 has virtually no significant impact on “global climate warming”….we have known this scientifically for decades. The denial deception… is hypocritical rhetoric… to intimidate, bully, indoctrinate the younger generations into believing their climate warming deceptions.

      Many Blessings! Wisdom and Understanding!!!

          A point is being made CC… or did you miss the irony of what you just wrote? Arguing for entertainment…??? Not. if that were only the outcome… people in jail… injustice… good productive businesses destroyed…

          Anyone can believe anything…. Reality is a hard taskmaster… the Truth.

          Many Blessings!

            There is actually something we cold do to influence the 98.5% of CO2 emissions and massive actual pollution that occur outside of our borders.
            We could fast track and encourage all Canadian natural gas production, pipelines, processing, and LNG export. So that more of the world can convert their coal energy to natural gas.

            I wonder why Chuck and friends are so vehemently opposed to this?

                Is 3.225% man made, of .04% of C02 in the atmosphere, SCARY for you CC?

                  These guys might be on to something:
                  WORLD'S GREATEST PROBLEM.
                  Agricultural Science.
                  Amazing Experiments.
                  It is said that some amazing ex-
                  periments that have been carried out
                  in Germany may lead to a revolution
                  in agriculture, and solve the world's
                  greatest problem—that of food. It has
                  long been obvious to all thinking
                  people that the only hope for the
                  world lies in the development of agri-
                  cultural science, so that two blades of
                  wheat or maize or rice may be made
                  to grow where only one grew before.
                  The problem is a pressing one, and
                  in his attempt to solve it Dr. Riedel,
                  of Essen, a German scientist, seems to
                  have obtained marvellous results.
                  As we all know, the green leaves
                  of plants take carbon dioxide from
                  the atmosphere, and in some way
                  produce starch and sugar to feed the
                  plant. Now, the ordinary atmosphere
                  contains only about one twenty-fifth
                  of 1 per cent. of it bulk of carbon
                  dioxide, or four parts in every ten
                  thousand parts of air; and twenty
                  million cubic yards of air; and
                  twenty million cubic yards of air are
                  needed to furnish the carbon for a
                  tree whose wood weighs ten thou-
                  sand pounds.
                  Knowing all this, Dr. Riedel con-
                  ceived the idea of speeding up the
                  growth of plants by giving them extra
                  supplies of carbon dioxide.
                  Living and working in a great
                  manufacturing district, Dr. Riedel re-
                  alised that vast volumes of carbon
                  dioxide, harmful to man and beast,
                  were being thrown into the atmos-
                  phere every hour, and lost. He
                  calculated that an ironworks dealing
                  with 4,000 tons of coke a day in its
                  blast furnaces produces about 250
                  million cubic feet of carbon dioxide.
                  There were, therefore, immense sup-
                  plies available.
                  Dr. Riedel set to work, designed a
                  process for arresting the gas, and
                  took out patents. Then he put his
                  great idea into practice. He set
                  aside three greenhouses, in each of
                  which the same kind of plants were
                  grown under similar conditions, ex-
                  cept that in one house extra supplies
                  of carbon dioxide were to be sup-
                  plied from blast furnaces. The test
                  began in June.
                  The results were such as to amaze
                  even the scientist. A few days after
                  starting the test the leaves of a cas-
                  tor oil plant in the greenhouse sup-
                  plied with gas measured a yard
                  across, while the largest leaf of a
                  similar plant in the other greenhouse
                  was about 18 inches. The height in-
                  creased correspondingly. Tomatoes
                  in the greenhouse supplied with gas
                  weighed 175 per cent. more than in
                  the other houses, and cucumbers show-
                  ed increase of 70 per cent.
                  At the same time experiments were
                  made in the open air, gas being sup-
                  plied to a plot of land through open-
                  ings in cement pipes arranged all
                  around. The gassed plot showed an
                  increase of 150 per cent. in spinach,
                  180 per cent. in potatoes, and 100 per
                  cent. in parsley.
                  Quite recently the experiment has
                  been tried of gassing a barren and
                  hitherto uncultivated piece of land
                  not very far from Berlin and re-
                  sults have been equally remarkable.
                  From these results there seems to
                  be no doubt that fertilising the air
                  with carbon dioxide is a more effi-
                  cient and cheaper way of increasing
                  the crops than treating the ground
                  with manures. In greenhouses in
                  winter the same coke furnace that
                  supplies the heat will provide, the ad-
                  ditional carbon dioxide.
                  Dr. Riedel believes that before long
                  ironworks will be systematically sup-
                  plying carbon dioxide to farmers.


                  How amazing that we knew all this in 1922, and over 100 years later, have completely lost the knowledge about how plants use CO2.

                  The last statement In bold) was especially prophetic.

                    So how much extra growth from increased levels of CO2 are you getting in the southern Alberta drought with higher evapotranspiration rates? None because your biggest limiting factor is a shortage of water!

                      That is certainly an interesting question Chuck. We had roughly 9.5 inches of rain and grew barley that yielded from 100 bushels per acre up to 120 depending on the variety. Certainly zero till has helped. Has the increased C02 made a difference? Certainly possible.

                        There is evidence that the benefits of CO2 will be offset by higher temperatures and hotter summers especially in some crops like Canola.

                        Look at Crop insurance payouts in the last 3 years. They have gone through the roof! Do you think CO2 is going make up for all the weather losses? Not a chance!

                          I keep seeing headlines about the hottest year ever.
                          I also keep seeing headlines about the world harvesting the biggest crop ever in history.
                          And prices seem to reflect that reality.
                          yet for all these years, the warmunists have been warning that global warming was going to decimate crop yields and lead to starvation.
                          How do you square that circle?

                            "warmunists"

                            Climate change is impacting yields but weather is still variable. So yes there will be good years and bad years.

                            Ask you buddies in south, some who have had several years of drought and a severe water shortage whether they think a warmer dryer climate will solve their problems?

                              The most important point Chuck2 is that the carbon tax or covering good farm land with Chinese solar panels isn’t going to make it rain. Making life more expensive for Canadians won’t change the weather. Building no new roads like Stephen Guilbeault wants won’t lower the average temperature. This is an ideological battle combined with fear mongering to allow the increase in size and reach of government. China and India will build enough coal fired electrical plants by 2030 that what Canada does won’t matter, that is the reality.
