CO2 Sustains Greenhouse Farming Revolution

The world would be safer if industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) were stopped, according to the teachings of many schools, the regulatory schemes of some governments and the hyperbolic public relations campaigns of a climate industrial complex. But the truth is happier: CO2 is an irreplaceable plant food that is increasing.
Carbon dioxide – the gas branded as public enemy number one – is not destroying the planet. It’s enhancing life on it. Across the globe, elevated CO2 levels are supercharging plant growth and delivering bountiful crop harvests at unprecedented rates.
Why does this matter? Because future generations could benefit from rejecting the hysteria and embracing common sense and well-established facts.
Since the start of the 20th century, atmospheric CO2 has risen from around 300 parts per million (ppm) to over 420 ppm. If you believe some headlines, this is tantamount to a death sentence. But if you’re a farmer – or a scientist focused on plant physiology – this increase looks like a gift.
