What will higher co2 do to the envoirment? An sugar is not a nutrient,its a carb,there is no essential carbs lol Sugar is a carb which is a macronutrient. If you’re going to deny it then we are literally talking different languages. Yes we are talking about CO2, which as you claim is a plant nutrient, just like nitrogen. Your premise that because it’s a nutrient it’s inherently good is flawed, hence why I used nitrogen as an example. If you don’t understand what the impact of high CO2 levels are then is there really any point continuing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you don’t understand what the impact of high CO2 levels are then is there really any point continuing? But it's not an essential daily requirement for humans like fat an protein born. Iv not said its inherently good but its good for the plants,vegetation an trees,and makes them grow bigger therefore a bigger output of oxygen? Do you understand the high impacts of co2 could you explain it to me because from what I gather the theories are there but we haven't actually observed what the say high co2 will do,have we?

So only essential nutrients are harmless? Shall we consider the impacts of unlimited fat consumption or the myriad of essential micronutrients? Mate, I’m not getting into such a big science based debate with you. Let’s focus on simple things like your implication that nutrients are nothing but good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,844 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Your arguing about fck all. It doesn't matter if co2 is good, bad or indifferent. China just built 3 more coal fired power stations while we continued to fill their order books for things we could produce, only now it also needs transporting around the world.

tatsblisters 10,149 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 I know a lot don't agree with Arthur Scargill but when he said years ago we should invest in clean coal burning technology maybe we would not be in this predicament now with rising fuel costs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nitrogen is a plant nutrient and look what unlimited quantities of that does to river systems. Sugar is a nutrient for us, a look what unlimited sugar intake does to us. Reducing CO2 won't stop plants growing. Reducing atmospheric CO2 to nothing would, but no one is suggesting we do that. There’s a difference between soluble chemical nitrogen in the river and plant that fix nitrogen in the ground I believe mate…..but you are way better educated than me so I am happy to be corrected Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact it’s a nutrient doesn’t make it intrinsically good. Nature is about balance, tipping that balance causes a cascade. I’m not going to change anyones mind on climate science or climate politics, just like I wasn’t with vaccination etc. Such big science topics are pointless endeavours on here. They go round in circles. But much simpler topics can be more easily discussed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
