Humanity has tipped the Earth’s nitrogen cycle out of balance. Before the rise of modern agriculture, most plant-available nitrogen on farms came from compost, manure and nitrogen-fixing microbes which take nitrogen gas (N2) and convert it to ammonium, a soluble nutrient that plants can take up through their roots. That all changed in the early 1900s with the debut of the Haber-Bosch process that provided an industrial method to produce massive amounts of ammonia fertiliser.

This abundance of synthetic fertiliser has boosted crop yields and helped to feed people around the globe, but this surplus nitrate and ammonium comes with environmental costs. Producing ammonia fertiliser accounts for about 1% of all global energy use and 1.4% of CO2 emissions (the process requires heating nitrogen gas and subjecting it to pressures of up to 400 atmospheres, so it’s very energy-intensive). More importantly, the fertiliser drives increased emissions of nitrous oxide because farmers tend to apply the nitrogen to their fields in a few large batches during the year, and crops can’t use it all.

Here’s my problem....If we reduce Co2...which gas will fill the void....or did they forget about that.

The watermelons are still crazed though.

Let them eat the bugs.

More junk science. N2O concentration amounts to 0.000033%

Anyone who thinks that this is enough to change the climate is too dumb for words. The public is waking up to the CO2 myth, so they have to find a new root cause for natural climate variability.

An overabundance of laughing gas might explain why the LGBTQueers have gone wild. They’re not laughing but are certainly giddy with enthusiasm, each about his own deviance.

That reminds me.

Whatever happened to “acid rain”? Remember how it was going to be the end of the world as we knew it?

It just sorta faded away. Kinda like the “Ozone Hole” that was also going to kill us all.

Emissions of the greenhouse fiction commonly known as political gas are soaring. As proof, gaslighting has become observed in all the studies and expert opinions and models and media. Besides, in 2018 we read “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” That was five years ago, so....

Water vapors is the most greenhouse gas of all of them, with heat capacity 10 times higher than carbon dioxide. And no one can do zilch about amount of water on planet Earth.

While we’re at it, lets get rid of that other greenhouse gas - water vapor.

Agriculture accounts for 16 to 27% of human-caused climate-warming emissions.

Guess we must end food then.

The atmosphere contains 0.04% CO2.

Man is responsible for 3.4% of that 0.04%

The total amount of anthropogenic CO2 In the atmosphere is therefore 0.0014%

Completely eliminate man's contribution and the Earth's atmosphere still contains 0.04% CO2.

From Wikipedia:
“Nitrous oxide’s atmospheric concentration reached 333 parts per billion (ppb) in 2020, increasing at a rate of about 1 ppb annually.”

That works out to the greenhouse equivalent of 100 ppm of CO2, if you accept the alarmists’ figures, and increasing at the rate of 1 ppm CO2 equivalent every three years and four months. Apparently this is so dangerous as to justify starving billions of people.
