In an exciting interview with kla.tv, the vice president of the European
Institute for Climate and Energy, Dipl. Ing. Michael Limburg, does a fact
check on the topic of CO2. What actually is CO2?
If you remember your school days:
At mine, at least, we learned that CO2 is a trace gas - carbon dioxide is the official name
- which is produced in every combustion process and which is present in the atmosphere in trace amounts.
The figure for this today is 0.04 volume percent.
So how much CO2 is in the atmosphere?
100 times 100 gives 10,000. Let that be our atmosphere.
... a total of three in 10,000 would be the so-called natural CO2 around 1880, 1850. These are those red circles.
And since that time, since 1880 or so, one molecule, this one, has been added.
The one molecule, as I said, has come along and this is where scholars argue, is it 100 percent man-made?
Or is it half man-made, or a third?
That's where science disagrees. Climate science agrees, but those who do not follow this trend say:
No, there are other sources.
... in any case, the effect of this one molecule, at least in terms of quantity, is the
reason why I am beginning to doubt that CO2 can accomplish this tremendous feat of warming the earth.
Is CO2 this scary climate poison despite the small amount?
Dipl. Ing. Michael Limburg: I'm glad you said that, that's exactly the opposite of poison.
Poison generally acts on cell physiology or
nerves, and thus like an amplifier.
So with tiny amounts, they can paralyze the heart nerves so that the heart stops beating. CO2 cannot do all that.
This can only combine with other substances under the influence of energy, which is what plants do,
for example. CO2 is the plant food par excellence. Without CO2 there would be no plants.
Would more CO2 in the environment be beneficial?
Plants think that's great. They thrive better. They need less light.
They need less water.
The Dutch have known this for over 100 years and gas their greenhouses
with CO2. That's exactly what we at kla.tv wanted to know in more
detail, so we entered into the search engine: Gassing CO2, greenhouse.
There we come across Hortipendium - the green encyclopedia and read: The plant operates for its growth, photosynthesis (assimilation).
In the process, it forms glucose and oxygen from water and CO2 under the influence of sunlight.
Carbon dioxide is therefore a crucial growth factor for the plant, along with water
The normal CO2 content of the air does not represent
an optimal value for photosynthesis for many plants. Wikipedia confirms:
The CO2 present in the natural ambient air is currently about 400 parts per million, which is below the
optimal level of about 800 to 1000 ppm for C3 plants such as wheat, rye or rice to grow.
If the CO2 in the ambient air were doubled, plants such
as wheat, rye or rice would have optimal conditions for growth.
If additional carbon dioxide is made available to the plants, the plants can grow better or faster.
Enriching the air present in the greenhouse with CO2 can increase
plant growth by up to 40 percent for some species.
Companies specializing in carbon dioxide fumigation also confirm the benefits of increased CO2:
More than 30 years of research activity and its results prove that increasing the carbon dioxide concentration
in greenhouses with agriculture, promotes the increase in growth of many species of fruits and vegetables.
It also increases the quality of the overall harvest and shortens production cycles.
Thus, the total yield can be significantly increased (usually by 25-30%) and cultivation area can be saved.
So now we have seen the effects of more CO2 on plants in the greenhouse.
Can this also be observed in the atmosphere worldwide?
Dipl. Ing. Michael Limburg: This is a graphic from NASA that shows that the green
area of the earth has increased enormously in recent years. When was this taken?
1982 to 2015, i.e. in the last 25 years.
So much so that today we can say that a green area the size of the United States
has been added and can be cultivated with crops, i.e. cereals, rice or wheat or rye or whatever.
The other claim that you hear over and over again, that climate change is making deserts bigger,
is also wrong, really wrong. The deserts are getting smaller. There are exceptions, but very few.
For example, if you look down here, since below
the Sahara in the southern, around the equator.
These savannahs have become larger.
So the Sahara is shrinking, for example, because of the nutritional effect of CO2.
From my point of view, this is a good reason not to trust CO2 with everything bad ...
In the meantime, 1609 scientists who have signed a world climate declaration agree with Mr. Limburg's statements.
Thus, more and more renowned experts contradict the climate narrative, i.e.
the prevailing media and political view of catastrophic, anthropogenic climate change.
They also emphasize in their statement that carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not an environmental toxin. Rather, he said, it was beneficial to the earth.
Carbon dioxide is essential to all life on Earth and beneficial to nature, the transcript
says. Additional CO₂ leads to growth in global plant biomass and increases crop yields worldwide.
