A summary of 270 laboratory studies (Idso, 2013) of 83 food crops showed that increasing CO2 concentrations by 300 ppm will increase plant growth by an average of 46% across all crops studied. Convers...
During each of the last four glacial advances, CO2 concentration fell below 190 ppm. At the end of the last glacial advance, it fell to 182 ppm, thought to be the lowest in the Earth’s history. Why is...
Today’s low CO2 concentration is starving trees and plants of the food they need to achieve their full growth potential via photosynthesis. Additional benefits of increased CO2: Image is Normalized Di...
Climate scientists have determined, and both sides agree, that the warming effect of each molecule of CO2 decreases significantly (logarithmically) as its concentration increases. This is one reason w...
For the last 140 million years, CO2 levels fell precipitously & steadily to within about 30 ppm of the 150 ppm “line of death” below which plants can’t survive. Both the relatively short-term data fro...
The world’s remarkable ability to increase food production year after year is attributable to mechanization, agricultural innovation, CO2 fertilization and warmer weather. World grain production and a...
Global man-made CO2 emissions began accelerating in the post-World War II economic boom and continue increasing today. If CO2 is the primary factor driving a warming planet, we should see indications...
Contrary to the oft-repeated mantra that today’s CO2 concentration is unprecedentedly high, our current geologic period, the Quaternary, has seen the lowest average levels of carbon dioxide since the ...
Reviews of numerous individual woody plant experiments reveal a mean growth enhancement on the order of 50% for an approximate doubling of the air’s CO 2 content (i.e., a 300 ppm rise). This photo ill...
Contrary to the oft-repeated mantra that today’s CO2 concentration is unprecedentedly high, our current levels of carbon dioxide are at near-historic lows. The average CO2 concentration in the precedi...
From James Murphy, originally published by The New American : The Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), composed of European and North American researchers and scientists, declared in a communique las...
From Dr. Richard Lindzen, originally published by The American Mind : Modern political movements have not infrequently laid claim to being based in science, from immigration restriction and eugenics (...
An interview with Steven Koonin, from Emily Yoffe, originally published by The Free Press : Emily Yoffe : Los Angeles is burning. President Joe Biden has said that climate change, which he just called...
From Katy Grimes, originally published by California Globe : Thursday in the California Assembly, lawmakers debated and voted to approve $2.5B in wildfire relief bills, only after Democrats blocked an...
From Cliff Reece, originally published by The Richardson Post : An electric car can burst into flames days after a fire appears to be extinguished. U.K.’s fire chiefs say the public must be told about...
From Brian C. Joondeph, originally published by American Thinker : Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a popular Christmas song from another era, long before the MeToo virus infected society. The virus turned ...
In this installment of the Climate Chronicles series, we push back on the notion that carbon capture technology is a necessity; it seems to be the latest in a long line of schemes to combat the non-ex...
CO₂ Coalition’s Climate Chronicles: Climate and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations examines how climate has influenced human history, highlighting a clear connection between warmer periods and societa...
CO 2 Coalition’s Climate Chronicles CO 2 & Water video discusses that the Earth’s temperature is primarily regulated by the sun, with water vapor and clouds playing a dominant role in the greenhouse e...
