Interesting, may even be somewhat self regulating too, in that the more co2 that is available to plants, the more they will absorb. Greenhouse growers buy extra co2 for their plants, I can't imagine they are spending money for no effect.
I don't think humans understand enough about life systems to be messing with them. Remember the law of unintended consequences.
Edwin , I went to college in the 70’s in Los Angeles. The pollution was blamed on the inversion layer and to put potted plants everywhere and keep planting as much trees as possible to absorb the CO2 . What happened? …
A most welcome piece of news. However, it's often missed that the vast majority of CO2 is absorbed and turned into O2 by the oceans. Without CO2, the oceans would die, too:
So...the destruction of the rain forests in Brazil are the major contributor. Also, changing climate patterns. So..we should have all the climate pushers out digging holes and planting trees. Maybe they should be planted too!
See "Hide the Decline" (in temperatures) a great music video making fun of Michael Mann (responsible for the IPCC report that went to Congress) who faked the temperature data in order to make it appear temps were going up when they were really going down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMqc7PCJ-nc (Wikileaks exposed his fraud, just before they arrested Juliane Assange.)
The Biden-Harris administration insists that gas stoves are not being targeted. Don’t believe a word of it. This kitchen controversy erupted in January 2023, when Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told the media that his agency is investigating the safety of natural gas stoves and that a ban on them was "a real possibility." His remarks sparked a powerful consumer backlash against such government meddling, followed by assurances from the Biden-Harris administration that no stove restrictions were in the works.
Denials aside, Washington bureaucrats really were targeting gas stoves then — and they still are today. They are just getting sneakier in how they go about it.
JD Vance Tells Joe Rogan a Senator Has 'Serious' COVID Vaccine Side Effects
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a side effect that takes place when your immune system attacks healthy nerve cells, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis in some cases.
Among the other rare side effects include myocarditis and pericarditis, which is a condition where your heart muscle or its surrounding tissue becomes inflamed.
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome has also been linked to the coronavirus vaccine. In these cases, patients experienced blood clots or increased blood clotting.
As an OB-GYN, I delivered a baby a day for more than 25 years. I never would have imagined I would have to fight harder to save children as a U.S. senator in the halls of Congress than I did in the delivery room.
Democratic leaders, including their presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, push for transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors. As a doctor, I always weigh the risks and benefits. These irreversible surgeries are complex, often requiring multiple operations and often resulting in long-term pain. Administering testosterone to young girls often results in permanent, irreversible changes, such as a deepened voice, increased body hair, shortened bone growth, and suppressed fertility, while also posing cardiovascular and liver risks. Testosterone therapy in biological women and estrogen therapy in biological men are linked to fertility loss, cognitive decline, and severe developmental problems.
Biden-Harris Medicare cuts are harming seniors with coverage losses, premium hikes: former congresswoman
Cuts to Medicare Advantage by the Biden-Harris administration could lead to fewer options and higher costs for 33 million seniors, former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-N.Y., warns. "And one of the pieces of that is to look at what's driving up the cost of health care," Buerkle, who worked as a nurse prior to practicing law and entering politics, told FOX Business. "Certainly, drugs are modernizing and streamlining the FDA, getting more generics and bioidenticals available in the marketplace — that would help the cost of things, looking at any dishonest billing, because we've seen that so many times."
Report: Medicare Part D Premiums Rise an Average of 11% Nationwide
HealthView services attributed this, in part, due to changes introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CMS’ $35 monthly cap on high-end premium increases, which has moderated the rise from 33% last year to 21% in 2025. While basic Part D coverage costs have decreased by 4%, mid- and high-tier plans have seen hikes of 4% and 21%, respectively, reflecting higher premiums for plans with enhanced drug coverage.1

Then why did the creator of the article you reposted use "Oak Ridge National Laboratory" as the author's name? Sounds like you were trusting Oak Ridge National Laboratory, until I pointed out it was not from Oak Ridge.

Interesting, may even be somewhat self regulating too, in that the more co2 that is available to plants, the more they will absorb. Greenhouse growers buy extra co2 for their plants, I can't imagine they are spending money for no effect.
I don't think humans understand enough about life systems to be messing with them. Remember the law of unintended consequences.
Very good Michelle, us thinking we are going to ‘regulate’ CO2 is like us thinking we are going to do anything, with political input!
Edwin , I went to college in the 70’s in Los Angeles. The pollution was blamed on the inversion layer and to put potted plants everywhere and keep planting as much trees as possible to absorb the CO2 . What happened? …
Communism won!
😞🤬
A most welcome piece of news. However, it's often missed that the vast majority of CO2 is absorbed and turned into O2 by the oceans. Without CO2, the oceans would die, too:
https://www.americanoceans.org/facts/how-much-oxygen-produced-by-ocean/
Wrote about the scam itself nearly two years ago, when the gas-stove gimmick was running rampant:
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/gas-stoves-are-bad-for-the-wef-but
Ray, it is nice to get some ‘verification’ for a change.
It's never been about the climate. Like COVID, it was about control.
Of course trees scrub 31% more carbon dioxide from the environment. It's plant food. The more trees and green plants you have, the more gets scrubbed.
Apparently Climate scientists forgot basic biology and basic Flora
So...the destruction of the rain forests in Brazil are the major contributor. Also, changing climate patterns. So..we should have all the climate pushers out digging holes and planting trees. Maybe they should be planted too!
Yes, they should be planted too, well. it’s an interesting thought anyway.
eight feet under!
