Making friends with Carbon Dioxide

[expat_panama]

Is that your quibble? ... pretty lame if you ask me ...

Perhaps I was not making myself clear. What I was questioning was the gripe about CO2, the fact that none of the complaints make any sense. One idea is that the CO2 we got is a waste product from people and that we're breathing a sewer...

Carbon dioxide is a waste product ... and we use our atmosphere as a sewer ... I'm not saying if this is right or wrong, just that's what we're doing ...

--yet long before there were any people --say, dinosaur days-- the CO2 levels were four times what we got today. Far from hurting life, it made life thrive as plants were able to raise oxygen levels to one and a half what we got today. That in turn was a boon to animal life, we had dragon flies w/ a 3-foot wingspan because of the added energy levels.

Life was easier w/ more CO2.

And according to highly correlated satellite and balloon data, increasing atmospheric Co2 did not warm anything.

Or if it did warm anything it couldn't be measured.

Out of our breath. But, oddly enough, our waste product is NEEDED by plant life. Plants, in turn, give off oxygen as their waste. We kinda need oxygen. So it’s good we give them CO2 and that they give us O2.

yeah. What with all that breathing.

Yep. Breathing. 10 out of 10 doctors recommended it.

Plants resperate ... they take in oxygen and oxidize sugars for ATP production ... Biology 101 ... y'all must have a really boring life to be quibbling about something none of you understand ... just burn coal if you want ... CO2 is not a pollutant ... why are you arguing? ...

Then what's your quibble? ... that you don't understand ... that's obvious ... long before there were people, CO2 levels were closer to 96% ... and they were that high for HALF of Earth's history ...

Why are you arguing it's a pollutant? ...

hmm. Maybe we got hearing impairment --NOT QUIBBLING NO QUIBBLE. Lanuage-- No estoy quibliando!!!! Perhaps you're happily married to the idea that I got a quibble--

I wish you the very best.

Clearly you needed the education.

Now stop saying stupid shit.


Toddle off.

Yes, plants do take in oxygen, but only during the process of respiration, where they use oxygen to break down food and produce energy, just like animals; however, during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release significantly more oxygen than they consume through respiration, making them net oxygen producers.

CO2 is good and you can never have too much of a good thing.

Just as long as we're clear about plants needing oxygen and returning carbon dioxide ... just like animals and bacteria ... and mold and fungus ... there's a few fermentors, but the vast majority of life on Earth is respiratory ...

The material stuff of plants ... wood, stems, leaves and such ... is all carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere ... including human food ... I'm not seeing any benefit at having carbon dioxide in our atmosphere rather than in our food production ... the Earth is greener with warmer temperatures ... so burn tires ...
