The Truth about CO2

Published on 27 jul. 2015

Global Warming activists will tell you that CO2 is bad and dangerous. The EPA has even classified it as a pollutant. But is it?

Patrick Moore provides some surprising facts about the benefits of CO2 that you won’t hear in the current debate.

What are two of the dirtiest words in the English language? Well, if you’re concerned with Global Warming as so many people are these days, the answer is obvious. The two words are “Carbon Dioxide.” Or as it is known by its chemical symbol – CO2. One atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. If we pump much more of it into the atmosphere, the argument goes, we’re going to alter the climate. Catastrophically.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, which constitute 85% of our energy use must be reduced to zero by 2100. If we don’t save ourselves from ourselves, we’re toast. That’s the claim.

Here’s what strange, though. All life is carbon based, and the carbon for all that life originates from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. All of the carbon in the fossil fuels we are burning for energy today was once in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide before it was consumed by plankton in the sea and plants on the land. Coal, oil, and natural gas are the remains of those plankton and plants that have been transformed by heat and pressure deep in the earth’s crust.
In other words, fossil fuels are 100 percent organic and were produced with solar energy. Sounds positively green.

If there were no carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere, the Earth would be a dead planet. Period. Talk about catastrophic climate change. Take away CO2 and you’d have it. And yet, the US Environmental Protection Agency has deemed this essential ingredient for life a pollutant!
But, how can something that makes life possible be bad?

Before I deal with that question, let’s get clear on our terms. It has become common to refer to the emissions from burning fossil fuels for energy as “carbon” emissions. That is entirely misleading. Carbon dioxide is not carbon. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which is an indispensable food source for all living things. Can you have too much of it? In theory, yes. That’s what climate alarmists say is happening now – CO2 levels are getting too high. Are they right? Well, if we look at the big picture we find something surprising.
