All food comes from sunlight reacting with chlorophyll and CO2. <br />At 380 parts per million, CO2 comprises .00038 of the total atmosphere. <br /><br />All of humankind's contribution is thought to be around 30 gigatons of CO2 per year added to the atmosphere while the rest of the planet (oceans, forests, natural provcesses, volcanoes, etc.) adds 40,000 gigatons to the residential atmospheric CO2 making mankind's contribution only .00075 of the total CO2. <br /><br />We need more CO2, not less.

I hear next the environmental wackos are going to ask all humans to hold their breath so we don't contribute to carbon dioxide levelsDLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658144115303080897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-5471795794653064102009-12-09T12:42:48.186-07:002009-12-09T12:42:48.186-07:00Two things: 1)Before the white man came, there wer...Two things: 1)Before the white man came, there were a lot more buffalo than there are cattle now in the western U.S. and it was a healthy ecosystem. 2)Plants need CO2 to grow.
