“I believe that the increase of CO2 is not a cause for alarm and will be good for mankind,” Happer told the committee. He cited the well-known evidence from other researchers that increasing CO2 levels will greatly benefit crop yields, meaning more food for the world’s people and animals. Dr. Sherwood Idso and other scientists have published extensively on the numerous benefits to be derived from increasing CO2 levels: more robust forest and vegetation growth, greater plant resistance to stress, greater drought resistance, reclaiming of deserts and barren lands.

The 'problem' with that, Dr. Happer, at least according to Algore, and the Church of Environmentalism, is that the areas that would benefit from the increased CO2 to sustain more life, are exactly those areas where the Population Police have been trying to reduce the numbers of births for years. Can't have all those 'brown people' you know, using up all the earth's resources.

Satellite imagery proves there is more forested land on earth today than there was when the first weather satellite, TIROS-1, was launched in 1959.

Accordingly, if we are producing more CO2 today than we did fifty years ago -- it's going to a good purpose. In fact, you might say that coal-burning power plants and sheep farts are doing their part in "saving the rain forest"...

If someone really needs yet another example of how demonrat politicians operate, then let the CO2 causes global warming/we need cap and trade be your guide.

1. The problem: Global warming is marketed as a planet killer to ramp up hysteria so that voters are emotionally invested in whatever "solution" is given.

2. The cause: Human activity generated CO2 is blamed for global warming.

3. The solution: CO2 must be curtailed. Politicians and politically connected "scientists" determine that the best way to curtail CO2 is a cap and trade scheme.

4. Hysterical, scientifically innocent voters demand laws be enacted and politicians comply to the wishes of the voters.

5. The reality: Politicians are rewarded with massive cap and trade revenue and more power and control over business and our personal lives. This process works almost every time and can be seen at the heart of every societal "crisis" we've faced. P.T. Barnum was right.

Many people don’t realize that over geological time, we’re really in a CO2 famine now. Almost never has CO2 levels been as low as it has been in the Holocene (geologic epoch) — 280 (parts per million - ppm) — that’s unheard of. Most of the time [CO2 levels] have been at least 1,000 (ppm) and it’s been quite higher than that,” Happer told the Senate Committee.

“Earth was just fine in those times,” Prof. Happer noted. “The oceans were fine, plants grew, animals grew fine. So it’s baffling to me that we’re so frightened of getting nowhere close to where we started,” Happer explained.

Conspiracy theories?

Radical environmentalists have long held that humans are a curse on Gaia, "Mother Earth". Many have long held that human depopulation is the key to "saving" the planet. They actually hate human beings and loathe the fact that even they exist. Guilt drives them. Look at this.....decrease CO2 and you reduce plant growth, starving food sources and necessitating the depopulation of the planet.

I can see those whacko human haters doing anything they can to kill as many of us as possible.

, the current warming period began about 1800 at the end of the little ice age, long before there was an appreciable increase of CO2. There have been similar and even larger warmings several times in the 10,000 years since the end of the last ice age. These earlier warmings clearly had nothing to do with the combustion of fossil fuels. The current warming also seems to be due mostly to natural causes, not to increasing levels of carbon dioxide. Over the past ten years there has been no global warming, and in fact a slight cooling. This is not at all what was predicted by the IPCC models.”
