Professor Lindzen notes that the present “absurd ‘scientific’ narrative” leaves us with a quasi-religious movement – atop of all this has been the ”constant Goebellian repetition by the media of climate alarm”.
Lindzen has long warned about the dangers of politicised science, noting recently that the UN-backed IPCC is “government-controlled and only issues government-dictated findings”.
Carbon dioxide is noted to be a “particularly ridiculous” choice as a pollutant. Its primary role is as a fertiliser for plants and currently, he adds, “almost all plants are starved of CO2”. Moreover, if we were to remove a bit more than 60% of CO2, the consequences would be dire, “namely death by starvation for all animal life”.
I remember hearing back in university that one of the reasons for the high amount of fossil fuel production during the Carboniferous period (300-360 million years ago) was the high CO2 levels in the atmosphere at that time. High CO2 stimulates plant growth as shown in laboratory experiments. I never heard anyone call it a fertilizer but I guess that is actually the effect it has on plant growth. Global warming was laughed at by the professor I worked with as an undergrad back in the mid-eighties. He called them “Global Ecologists” who were always speculating about everything on a literally global scale.
