Climate Change FOOD for Thought! We are Carbon-based life forms.
Most of Earth's atmosphere is Nitrogen and Oxygen. By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen,[1] 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small. Recently it has increased to where it is now close to 4 parts in 10,000, by volume, and historically been @ 3 parts per 10,000.
Sounds Bad, doesn't it. Not necessarily. This is still a minuscule amount when considered as a portion of the total atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is a TRACE gas. But we don't like it and want to get rid of it. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were to become diminished by a mere 2 parts out of 10,000 there would be serious detrimental repercussions to the process of photosynthesis, hence to the health of Earth’s plant life and to the entire biosphere as a consequence. Plants, trees, crops do not just LIKE co2; they require it! It is their PRIMARY nutrient. Human and all other forms of life would DIE if this process were disrupted.
CO2 is NOT a pollutant. Yes, there are many man-made pollutants that negatively affect life but CO2 is not one of them. So should we allow governments and politics have a crack at solving man-made "climate change problems?". We can scarcely predict tomorrow's weather. It is though, 100% certain that government will screw things up.
