This year, I bought a fish tank and populated it with cute tropical fishes. My kids asked me to add soil and aquatic plants to make it more like the real environment. At first, I was hesitant, but I eventually agreed.
However, my enthusiasm quickly waned as the plants began to die. Within 10 to 15 days, they were all shriveled and brown. I was distraught. I had no idea what I was doing wrong.
In desperation, I turned to my local fish vendor for help. He listened patiently to my woes and then said, "You need a tank of CO2."
"CO2?" I repeated in disbelief. "But I thought CO2 was bad for the environment."
"Not in this case," he explained. "CO2 is essential for plant growth. Without it, plants will eventually die."
I was skeptical, but I was also desperate. I bought a tank of CO2 and attached it to the side of my fish tank. Then, I turned the valve on.
Within days, I began to see a difference. The plants perked up and started to grow again. Within a few weeks, they were thriving. Their leaves were lush and green, and they were covered in vibrant flowers.
I was amazed. I had never seen my plants look so good. I realized that my fish vendor was right. CO2 is the gas of life, after all.
Now, my fish tank is a lush oasis of aquatic plants. My kids love it. They spend hours watching the fish swim among the vibrant green leaves. I'm so glad that I listened to my fish vendor and added CO2 to my tank. It was the best decision I ever made.
CO2: The Fuel for Life
CO2 is essential for life on Earth. Plants use it to photosynthesize, which is the process by which they convert sunlight into energy. This energy is then used to grow and produce food. Without CO2, plants would not be able to survive, and neither would we.
In addition to plants, CO2 is also essential for other life forms. For example, corals use CO2 to build their skeletons. And plankton, which are tiny organisms that live in the ocean, use CO2 to produce oxygen.
CO2 is truly the gas of life. It is essential for the survival of all plants and animals on Earth.
A Lesson in Resilience
My experience with my fish tank taught me a valuable lesson about resilience. When faced with challenges, it's important to be persistent and to seek out solutions. I was determined to save my plants, and I eventually found a solution in CO2.
If I can save my plants, anyone can. So if you're facing challenges in your own life, don't give up. Keep searching for solutions, and eventually you will find them. (text embellished by Bard)
Your vendor said , "Not in this case,: He should have said, "Not ever!" Please read my precious posts about Climate Change and the Miracle molecule. I explain photosynthesis in detail and give you the equations. It does a lot more than give plants energy for life.
Yes, the non-linear effect of CO2 on temperature is key. I found the citation on the CO2 coalition website. Z(C) is the "flux to space" across varying CO2 concentrations. I am confused about how that relates to warming though. If energy is being radiated from the Earth to Space at diminishing levels as CO2 rises doesn't that imply that more heat will be retained?
When she talks about "wigglers" she's referring to the vibrational modes of the C-O bonds in CO2 or the H-O bonds in H2O. I wish she wouldn't use stupid terms like that.
regarding the greenhouse effect of CO2 were based on the calculations by the first scientist to discover that CO2 was a "greenhouse gas" back in the late 1800s I think. The REAL climate scientists (as opposed to the bought-off IPCC sorry excuses for scientists) say that due to limitations of his instruments back then that his calculations were off quite a bit, but because the original value suits the IPCC agenda better, they prefer to use that mistaken figure. In other words, the value that the Climate Alarmists ascribe to CO2 for its heating effect, and hence "plug into" their computer models, is just wrong. But, realistically, the ONLY place "global warming from man-made CO2" exists IS IN THE COMPUTER MODELS!!! The rate of increase of its heating effect is reduced logarithmically the higher the CO2 goes, so at a certain point it produces no further warming. And the MAIN driver (forcer) of climate on Earth is from the Sun. In ADDITION to the "insolation" —the coronal mass ejections/solar wind charged particles to be precise —and its effect on the amount of cosmic rays that penetrate into our atmosphere. Cosmic rays charge sulphur particles in the atmosphere that then attract water vapor and "seed" clouds, reflecting solar irradience back into space, cooling the planet. Low solar activity= more cosmic rays= more clouds= cooler Earth. CO2 has ZERO to do with it!!!!!
Very good. This certainly explains why there is no correlation between CO2 levels and temperature. I didn't know about the measurements in the late 1800s but I wouldn't put anything past the IPCC scientists.
I learned CO2 increases always follow temperature increases in Postgrad Climatology in the early 90s and have been scratching my head about the so called carbon crisis ever since.

Hi Madhava! It's all explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqu5DjzOBF8

It's the only way I can see it in the graphs. I've tried hard to see CO2 leading but it's just not there.
