Here we go. Climate alarmism is failing so the next boogie man is nitrogen. I hate these people.

The alledged global warming threat is nitrous oxide (aka laughing gas) emitting into the air from nitrogen fertilizers.

"N2O, also known as laughing gas, does not get nearly the attention it deserves, says David Kanter, a nutrient pollution researcher at New York University and vice chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative, an organization focused on nitrogen pollution research and policy making. “It’s a forgotten greenhouse gas,” he says. Yet molecule for molecule, N2O is about 300 times as potent as carbon dioxide at heating the atmosphere. And like CO2, it is long-lived, spending an average of 114 years in the sky before disintegrating. It also depletes the ozone layer. In all, the climate impact of laughing gas is no joke. IPCC scientists have estimated that nitrous oxide comprises roughly 6 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and about three-quarters of those N2O emissions come from agriculture. "

Sounds like a great opportunity for an enterprising person to develop a process for removing the nitrogen from the waste stream and process it into a fertilizer product that could be used on food crops.

Just have to come up with a way to extract the urea from the out flow of sewage treatment plants, sterilize it so there won't be any problems with bacteria or other germs in the product then make a usable fertilizer out of it.

My natural superabundance of testosterone make the trout out in the river here grow hair on their chests and thick beards. The eagles that survive trying to take them likewise now have deep baritone calls.

Tell the Rats to stop peeing on our backs and telling us it’s raining outside. Then we’ll talk.

These people never quit. I am sure they have plenty of idiots who want to appear smart and will parrot their nonsense.

Everybody had the same reaction I did. Chicken Little fear mongering of C02 causing global warming was not getting the job done. Now they pivot to NO2 and famine. Insanity.

ps

I don’t understand how commie Klaus and his ESG billionaires expect to survive the calamity they are bringing on the world. How do they expect to keep the security forces protecting them loyal? In the end, men with guns will determine who the survivors will be.

Anyone that thought they’d stop with the carbon cycle was a fool. Nitrogen, water....Terrarium Earth, and every child a God.

Is this an indirect way of preventing us from peeing on certain graves?

they’ll have to try to demonize oxygen.

Even worse for us is that chemical dihydro-oxygen.

(never thought I would give the Scientific American a double-take making sure it wasn’t a Babylon Bee article.)

Scientific American has become distressingly woke since the creation of Springer Nature in 2015.

As a man educated in the sciences I subscribed to Scientific America for years. That once great publication has gone political and abandoned science. I canceled my subscription.

DRUG usage is another ‘pee problem’.

Only about 50% of drugs stay in the body-—the rest is excreted out into the ‘treatment plant’ water.

There are NO FILTERS to remove these drug residues.
