Blessing or Curse? The Curious Case of Carbon Dioxide
American Thinker ^ | 12/22/17 | Vijay Jayaraj

How did CO2 -- the elixir of life -- turn out to be the evil gas of 21st century?

The special interest in CO2 began when a handful of scientists, backed by political elements, proposed their hypothesis -- one which suggested that CO2 emission from anthropogenic sources, such as coal-fired plants, is the primary reason for what they allege is a dangerous increase in earth’s temperature.

Despite the lack of observational evidence, political institutions popularized this hypothesis through state-sponsored research programs.

In order to sustain their claims, these climate alarmists designed climate computer models to manufacture friendly results that supported their hypothesis. Through these computer models, the alarmists suggested that the earth was at a point of no return.

In conversation, I refer to it as “The Essential Plant Nutrient, carbon dioxide”...

While a precise definition has yet to be formulated it’s the sort of thing you’ll recognize when you see it.

Stay alert!

The cycle of life has CO2 from the air being converted to solids (trees, grass, algae etc). In that process the excess oxygen (note 1 carbon, 2 oxygen) is released back into the air. It would be fatally unwise to mess with this chemistry!

Elixers are liquid.

Carbon Dioxide may be a vapor of life, but water is the elixir of life.

I read the author’s article.

Yawn.

Any discussion on anti-alarmist CO2 without correlation to solar influence is just hot air.

Art Robinson’s proactive ripost to William Ripple’s BS in November (Warning to Humanity) was more informative than this recycling of old news...

Every article that I have read on Anthropogenic Global Warming always has a leading sentence which starts with " hypothesis -- one which suggested" then ends with "is the primary reason".

They always take it from a suggested hypothsis to a fact.
