Hooray for Carbon Dioxide! It's Helping to Feed the World's Hungry

Among the greatest challenges humankind has faced throughout its history, feeding the world’s hungry ranks at or near the very top of the list. And with the world’s population expected to top nine billion between 2050 and 2100, this issue will surely become even more important in the coming decades.

However, what many people may not realize is that the carbon dioxide humans have been pumping into the air since the middle of the 20th century has enriched plant growth, thereby contributing to record crop yields, which has helped to bring about the largest decline in hunger, starvation, and malnutrition in human history.

Cans. Worms. Open. This denier is just begging to be lambasted by the warmunists. How dare he tout SeeUhO2 as a good thing for humans. Me, I like my plants pumping out copious amounts of Oxygen. But, that could just be me.

All these poor hungry people in the world need to start eating sea weed and algae and the land plants can go to feed the cows so the rich people have plenty of beef

[Texas Eagle]

The reason so many people have gone hungry over the course of history is because of tryannical governments and idiotic religious beliefs, not the climate.

[Fiji Hill]

Global warming should also help the world’s hungry by generating longer growing seasons and opening more land to agriculture by causing the permafrost belt to recede.
