Plants absorb carbon dioxide 25 percent faster than previously thought, say scientists

(NaturalNews) The so-called climate change "experts" that still cling to the mythical theory of man-made global warming are having an increasingly difficult time defending this flailing position. New findings published in the journal Nature reveal that plants, which absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen, actually absorb CO2 about 25 faster than previous estimates assumed they did.

The findings are hugely significant, of course, because they help further debunk the myth that CO2 is an overabundant environmental pollutant responsible for destroying the earth. Besides the fact that plants need CO2 in order to produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe -- we would all die if plants did not have CO2, after all -- their newly-discovered, much-more rapid consumption of this vital element shows that, in all truth, CO2 is not the threat that Al Gore and others claim it is.

Sure, the earth is going through some major changes right now, as it is constantly in flux between periods of cooling and periods of warming. But CO2 production ultimately has little or nothing to do with these changes as the innocuous compound is not capable of producing any type of warming. The fluctuating activity of the sun in the form of sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CME), for example, has a far greater impact on the earth's atmospheric temperatures than do the burning of fossil fuels.

Destructive human activities like the leveling of the rainforest and massive environmental pollution surely do not help the situation in any way, however, and they are obviously contributing in a very serious way to the demise of our planet. But the geopolitical agenda of global warming, complete with its de facto goal of one-world-government, is the crux of the scam that must be exposed.

On the same token, it was revealed back in August that one of the most popular and foundational "proofs" used to substantiate claims about global warming was completely fabricated. Observed arctic polar bear deaths were not caused by melting polar ice caps as claimed in a 2006 paper published in Polar Biology, but were actually the result of a severe weather event (http://www.naturalnews.com/033370_p...).

CO2 is an overabundant environmental pollutant

Making up 0.0387% of the atmosphere.

The polar bear reference embedded in the article is also interesting:

This entire CO2 issue is such a joke. We generally expect governmental bodies to protect us from such tripe, but the EPA has turned into the modern day Gestapo. What a sad state of affairs.

CO2...Making up 0.0387% of the atmosphere.

Don't you know when CO2 gets to .0399% we will all die? /S

What CO2 is doing is greening the earth by means of its fertilizing effects. Greenhouse operators have always known that the way to increase growth in plants was to feed them with CO2.

Soon they can regulate our breathing, because we're polluting when we do that.

After millions of man-hours of research of photosynthesis by botanists, plant biologists, and other research scientists, they are now discovering CO2 uptake is 25% higher than previously thought? How can that possible be? The science was settled long ago on plant CO2 uptake rates.

These heretics are denying previous results? Burn them at the stake? No deniers!

Heh; I always liked that highly politicized statement, because I knew those who liked to utter it would eventually be forced to eat those words. It's not in the definition of science to be settled in any way!

Heh heh. It takes 5% carbon dioxide to cause a human to pass out.

And when the AGW kooks mention Venus, I have to laugh . . . the Venutian atmosphere is 96.5% CO2 by comparison with Earth. It's "DHMO" that affects ambient air temperature . . .

This is another completely “unexpected” thread! LOL!

Helps explain the mystery of the missing CO2 which has plagued the Warmists since the beginning - to get to the disastrous results they’ve longed for, their models have had to assume that once liberated CO2 hung around in the atmosphere for fifty years or so - but actual real life experiments rather than models have shown it hangs around for only seven to ten years before disappearing - thus no big buildup in the atmosphere and no terrible warming effect - here’s more empirical evidence that their fantasies are just -— fantasies......

He's hopeless:

He even forgot the warnings in Time magazine during the 1970s.

And of course, the most plentiful and hideous greenhouse gas by a huge margin is WATER VAPOR!!! (OMG!!!)
