If you talk to the global warming crowd, carbon dioxide -- CO2 -- is the enemy
of mankind. Any and all creation of CO2 is bad for the planet, we're told, and
its production must be strictly limited in order to save the world.
But
what if that wasn't true? What if CO2 were actually a
planet-saving
nutrient that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more
nutritious, healthy plants?
CO2 is a vital nutrient for food crops
As it turns out, CO2 is
desperately needed by food crops, and right now there is a severe shortage of
CO2 on the planet compared to what would be optimum for plants. Greenhouse
operators are actually
buying carbon dioxide and injecting it into their
greenhouses in order to maximize plant growth.
The science on this is
irrefutable. As just one example, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food
says:
CO2 increases productivity through improved plant growth and
vigour. Some ways in which productivity is increased by CO2 include earlier
flowering, higher fruit yields, reduced bud abortion in roses, improved stem
strength and flower size. Growers should regard CO2 as a
nutrient
