Right now our atmosphere has 400 PPM of CO2 = 0.04% At 600-1000 PPM of CO2 we get optimal FARMING conditions At 200 PPM OF CO2, all plant life DIES Companies uses Carbon dioxide generators to reach these conditions of 600 - 1000 PPM : (1) To increase yield by 30% or MORE (2) To produce an earlier harvest (3) To improve plants resistance to DISEASE and PESTS Who do I have a feeling that this is part of #TheGreatReset and they never want our atmosphere to each these CO2 levels, so that our farmers NEVER see these benefits for FREE!? So let me get this straight: (4) If we increase CO2 in the atmosphere, we get OPTIMAL farming conditions (5) If we DECREASE CO2 in the atmosphere, we get an ICE AGE and DEATH of most life on the planet Can someone please rationally explain why we’re decreasing CO2 levels again!? Companies are PAYING to increase CO2 levels for better farming conditions, while we PAY TAXES to decrease CO2 levels and keep ourselves in SUBOPTIMAL farming conditions!?

Of course, despite the benefits of elevated CO2, it's still possible to destroy agricultural productivity with bad governance. https://twitter-thread.com/t/1719372491536085167 Mao demonstrated that 60+ years ago, in pursuit of socialist utopia. Gotabaya Rajapaksa proved it again in Sri Lanka in 2021. Sri Lanka's humanitarian and economic disaster is the poison fruit of climate alarmism. Leftist politicians and climate activists are doing their best to lower crop yields, and return us to the days of mass famines. Most young people don't know much history, so they don't know what that's like. They're in for a very rude awakening, if the climate activists get their way. Compare: ● Covid-19 has killed about 0.1% of world population, so far ● The 1918 flu killed ≈2% ● WWII killed ≈2.7% ● But the global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of world population Dutch farmers are some of the most productive in the world, but their leftist, climate-conscious government is doing their best to end that: https://reuters.com/business/environment/dutch-farmers-protest-plan-curb-nitrogen-pollution-2022-06-22/ So is Baby Trudeau's leftist, climate-conscious government in Canada: https://agweb.com/news/policy/politics/new-policy-forces-canadian-producers-cut-back-fertilizer The Left and the Climate Industry are at war against agriculture, and against against humanity https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=famine#famine In fact, the Climate Industry is ultimately at war against science itself. The IPCC's 2022 AR6 Report explicitly promotes homeopathic climatology (TCRE/RCB), which is just as unscientific as it sounds. Eli Rabett @EthonRaptor won't answer the question; so how about you, Willard? Do you agree with AR6 that CO2 which was FORMERLY in the air STILL has a warming effect? Or do you reject the IPCC's unscientific homeopathic climatology? Climate activists are like modern Lysenkoists, pretending to be scientific, while shredding real science. Or are you going to pretend there's anything scientific about GISS "climate scientist" @DrKateMarvel Kate Marvel's "intersectional science"? https://sealevel.info/intersectional_blah_blah_blah.html

1/7. The only trace on that graph which does not show large improvement in cereal yield per hectare is the trace for Niger. The graph ended with an anomalously bad crop year for cereals in Niger (2021). Fortunately, 2022 was much better; here's an article https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/19/niger-strong-agricultural-season-boosts-economic-rebound-in-2022
@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton
2/7. By displaying high productivity countries like the USA along with Niger, you forced OurWorldInData to scale the graphs so that it's hard to see the trend in Niger. But if you display Niger alone, as I've done here, you'll see that cereal yields declined there until about thirty years ago, but they've improved since then (except for 2021).

The other major staple crop in Niger is cassava. Its yields have improved considerably. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cassava_yield_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png
@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton
4/7. That's probably because cassava benefits tremendously from additional CO2, especially in the dry conditions which are prevalent in most of Niger. Here's a paper about it: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523 Cruz et al 2018. Elevated CO2 reduces whole transpiration and substantially improves root production of cassava grown under water deficit.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton
5/7. Most of Niger is desert or near-desert, which means most of its land is poorly suited for growing crops. Over the 60 year period shown, Niger's population increased by about 640%. As a result, the amount of land under cultivation drastically increased, resulting in more marginal land being put to the plow. That, of course, can be expected to lower the average cereal yield per hectare. Nevertheless, other than a bad year in 2021, yields there have been improving since the mid 1990s. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cereal_production_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

6/7. That's probably because of the well-known fact that, in addition to improving production by CO2 fertilization, rising CO2 levels improve crops' water use efficiency and drought resilience.

1/10. Where on earth do you "learn" such nonsense, Willard? Growing ranges for most major crops cover climate zones with average temperatures that vary by tens of °C. Major crops like corn, wheat, potatoes & soybeans are produced from Mexico to Canada. Compared to that, a degree or two of warming (disproportionately at night, in winter, at chilly high latitudes) is de minimis -- as is the 0.35±0.13°C between now and what the IPCC calls "1.5°C of warming").

2/10. Willard wrote, "fertilization is the male gamete to female gamete to produce seed/fruit... not the N-P-K addition" Wrong. In agriculture, that's called pollination.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton
8.1/10. Aside: for agricultural plants, carbon absorption is roughly proportional to crop yield, so a +17% increase in carbon uptake from a mere 55 ppmv (16%) rise in CO2 level strongly suggests that crop yield improvements from elevated CO2 are much greater than the +20% conservative estimate which I previously mentioned.

17/18. Rising CO2 levels improve crop yields in two major ways: through "CO2 fertilization," and by improving drought resilience and water use efficiency (WUE). That's long-settled science, among agronomists. Most plants utilize C3 photosynthesis, and agronomy studies show that for C3 crops the CO2 fertilization benefit is highly linear as CO2 levels rise, until above about 1000 ppmv (which is far higher than we could ever hope to drive outdoor CO2 levels by burning fossil fuels). That linearity is obvious in the green (C3) trace, in this graph: https://sealevel.info/C3_and_C4_Pflanze_vs_CO2_Konzentration_1750_1984_2018_2019.png Here's a study about wheat (a C3 crop): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26929390 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263. Plants (and animals) are carbon-based lifeforms. Plants get the carbon they need from CO2 in the air; CO2 is, literally, plant food. The higher the CO2 level, the less air plants must process through their stomata, and the less water they lose in the process (transpiration). Elevated CO2 improves plants' WUE and drought resilience by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. So eCO2 is especially beneficial in arid regions, and especially beneficial for crops which are under drought stress. Corn (maize) has been very heavily studied. Even though it is a C4 grass (and C4 plants are better at enduring low CO2 levels), corn benefits greatly from elevated CO2, especially under drought stress. Here's a paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Chun et al. (2011). Effect of elevated carbon dioxide and water stress on gas exchange and water use efficiency in corn. Agric For Meteorol 151(3), pp 378-384, ISSN 0168-1923. doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2010.11.015. EXCERPT: "There have been many studies on the interaction of CO2 and water on plant growth. Under elevated CO2, less water is used to produce each unit of dry matter by reducing stomatal conductance." That improvement is one of several major reasons that catastrophic drought-triggered famines are fading from living memory, for the first time in history. If you're too young to remember huge, devastating, drought-triggered famines, count yourself blessed. Through all of human history, until very recently, famine was one of the great scourges of mankind, the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse. But no more. That is a miracle! Here's the data: https://ourworldindata.org/famines https://sealevel.info/Famine-death-rate-since-1860s-revised-annot1.png Ending famine is a VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war and disease. Compare: ● Covid-19 killed 0.1% of world population. ● 1918 flu pandemic killed about 2%. ● WWII killed 2.7%. ● The near-global drought and famine of 1876-78 killed about 3.7% of the world population. https://sealevel.info/C3_and_C4_Pflanze_vs_CO2_Konzentration_1750_1984_2018_2019.png https://sealevel.info/Famine-death-rate-since-1860s-revised-annot1.png

So let me get this straight: (4) If we increase CO2 in the atmosphere, we get OPTIMAL farming conditions (5) If we DECREASE CO2 in the atmosphere, we get an ICE AGE and DEATH of most life on the planet Can someone please rationally explain why we’re decreasing CO2 levels again!? Companies are PAYING to increase CO2 levels for better farming conditions, while we PAY TAXES to decrease CO2 levels and keep ourselves in SUBOPTIMAL farming conditions!?

1/7. This PBS piece is extremely misleading. Elevated CO2 greatly improves crop yields, and it mitigates drought impacts, by improving plants' water use efficiency (WUE) and drought resilience. See: https://masterresource.org/carbon-dioxide/co2-increased-water-use-efficiency/ I asked ChatGPT to explain the mechanism by which agronomists have found that elevated CO2 improves crops' WUE and drought resilience. It did a good job: ꧁꧂ In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency. Several studies have quantified the effect of elevated CO2 on stomatal conductance and transpiration. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2013 (Kimball et al., 2013) found that under elevated CO2 levels, stomatal conductance decreased by an average of 22%, while transpiration decreased by only 17%. This indicates that plants under elevated CO2 levels were able to reduce water loss more efficiently than they reduced CO2 uptake, leading to an overall improvement in water use efficiency. Improvements in water use efficiency due to elevated CO2 levels can increase plants' drought resilience by allowing them to maintain adequate hydration during periods of water scarcity. This can be particularly beneficial in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited. Overall, the literature suggests that elevated CO2 levels can improve water use efficiency in plants by reducing stomatal conductance and water loss through transpiration, which can enhance their resilience to drought conditions.

IMO 2020 shipping regulations drastically reduced sulfate aerosol air pollution (The IMO says they resulted in "an estimated 46% decrease in ship-emitted aerosols," which equates to a sudden 10% decrease in total global SO2 emissions, which is a large improvement in a short time, with a significant warming effect). And 3. The unusual 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption, which humidified the stratosphere. And 4.

10/12〕ChatGPT did a good job of explaining how elevated CO2 improves plants' water use efficiency and mitigates drought impacts: “In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. “Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency.” References: 1.
