An emerging shortage of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) caused by the coronavirus pandemic may affect food supply chains and drinking water, a Washington state emergency planning document has revealed. The document, a Covid-19 situation report produced by the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), contains a warning from the state’s office of drinking water (ODW) about difficulties in obtaining CO2, which is essential for the process of water treatment.

Comments:

I've been hearing about this for awhile--after how many decades of hearing that CO2 is going to destroy the planet. Nothing surprises me anymore.

And one of the largest producers of CO2 is a product that is supposed to help the environment. Ethanol production. With covid people are driving less so ethanol isn't being produced. We need to get rid of Ethanol. It's another thing that doesn't work. Just like the vaccine, masks and social distancing.

Oh, so now CO2 is our friend, is it? Well, you’re going to have to get SCOTUS to reverse their declaration that CO2 is a poisonous gas.

This article is a year old...but the same issue is currently happening in europe. There though the primary source for industrial quantities of CO2 is not ethanol plants but Fertilizer plants, plants run on Nat.Gas. Nat Gas prices have skyrocketed and it is no longer economically viable to keep the fertilizer, steel and other metals plants in operation. The 175% increase in Nat Gas prices is completely due to "Green" policies, tariffs, and tariffs designed to "Reduce atmospheric Co2". Those tariffs/taxes and regulations funded spending on "Green Replacement" energy sources, sources which now under-perform soooo badly that Nat Gas, Oil, Coal supplies are being diverted from industrial uses to just keep the "Lights on". This is going to be a compounding problem because...nearly ALL of europes agriculture is fertilizer dependent, they cannot even grow crops without heavy inputs/applications of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Either the fertilizer is going to have to be imported(at higher costs) or the Crops will have to be...likely BOTH. The energy shortage and costs explosion is happening now...still summer... imagine what effect shorter days , colder/longer nights will have on energy requirements just for light and heat.

Add CO2 to the list of items either in short supply or gone all because of this BS notion that Covid is the worst virus to ever invade this planet. I can't even begin to list the number of items that are no longer available in the supermarket because companies either don't have the personnel to produce them, or because the companies are operating under Covid restrictions. This needs to end immediately. There are no more excuses.

If you haven't been stocking up on essentials you haven't been paying attention. Bottled water canned goods pet food toilet paper batteries are all in short supply now on purpose. Better prepare its gonna get ugly soon. Grocery prices are sky rocketing. Sunday I went to the store to buy chicken wings for my son a 10lb bag a month ago was $23.00 it was $54.00 on sunday. This is not a product I usually buy but he does. He couldn't believe it. He went to a wholesaler and filled three deep freezers with meats. I told him three months ago to do that. At least he finally listened to me.

"In 2003, EPA ruled that it had no power to curb emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping chemicals. In 2007 in the 5-4 SC case (Massachusettes v. EPA) struck down that EPA ruling. The majority opinion was written by John Paul Stevens, and was joined by Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. Roberts filed the dissenting opinion, which was joined by Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. In 2003 Roberts was voting conservatively (before he was being blackmailed). I believe it became clear that Roberts was being blackmailed in the 2012 SC case (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius), where in the majority's 5-4 decision, he sided with the liberals and decided that the Obamacare mandate "may reasonably be characterized as a tax," which is "sufficient to sustain it."

I used to have a number of aquariums full of different species of fish. There were ciclids and Angel fish, Discus, even a tank of piranhas. But what we are going through is like my aquarium of Tetras. I had about 20 of the neon striped school. What I'm getting at is the fact that I used to amuse myself by tapping on the side of the glass where they were bunched up sending them hauling fin to the other end of the tank. After they bunched up there, I'd just tap the glass and send them back to the other end. They never figured it out. I would prefer to not be a neon tetra in the governmental aquarium.

I don't trust anything the Guardian (or Independent or Telegraph, for that matter) says, and am cagey any time their reporting agrees with my view. But creating hunger cultivates societal dependence on government, which is *precisely* the Left's primary goal. The bigger famine, the better, as far as they're concerned. So if whatever is happening serves to bring food shortages to Europe, a feather in their caps, and another domino falling. They'll have more work to do for the U.S., since farmland in the midwest and in California are so much more productive...

#6....freezers require power. Think hard about that. Electric power is the next item to be both priced out of reach, and rationed, as it has been in California, where they shut down power to huge swaths of the state for a week or two at a time. Having a freezer full of food is good, but still is far from being resistant to the forces destroying the country.

The mysterious deaths of a Google engineer and his family on a hiking trail were not a case of homicide, police say. The bodies of Jonathan Gerrish, 45, his wife Ellen Chung and their daughter Muji - along with their dog Oski - were discovered by search teams on Tuesday in an area of the Sierra National Forest known as Devil's Gulch. Officials were originally investigating whether poisonous algae killed the family who were found dead on a remote hiking trail near Hites Cove, a popular hiking destination, but lifted the hazmat declaration on Wednesday. The bodies of the deceased were airlifted out of the area that afternoon.

So the FBI could seize the boxes themselves, Kim decided, but had to return what was inside to the owners.

A federal appeals court in Georgia has approved an expedited review of pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell’s request for a forensic review of voting machines in three counties. Powell filed a lawsuit last week alleging that Dominion Election Systems voting machines used in the 2020 election in Georgia are insecure and allow foreign agents to meddle in the U.S. election. U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. issued an order on Sunday restricting officials in Georgia’s Cherokee, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties from resetting Dominion Election Systems voting machines because of the lawsuit.

The announcement comes after the media caused a frenzy by falsely portraying the videos and photos as showing agents hitting the migrants with whips. It was later revealed that the agents were in fact wielding the long reins that make it easier to maintain control of their horses, according to Border Control chief Raul Ortiz.

Why has the federal government been trying so hard to keep surveillance footage of January 6th under wraps? We may have an answer to that question if a set of newly released videos are any indication.A judge ordered the videos be released against the wishes of the government prosecutors who claimed doing so would undermine national security. Of course, that makes no sense, and what’s on the videos runs counter to the chosen narrative.Behold, the event that has been compared to the Civil War by the President of the United States.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is warning the Republican Party that staying in former President Donald Trump’s thrall will not lead to a viable political future. The Lexington Herald-Leader obtained a preview of Peril, the upcoming book from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that has already produced a multitude of explosive details on Trump’s last days in office. According to the new excerpt, McConnell is encouraging the GOP to move away from Trumpism, calling the ex-president “a fading brand. Retired. OTTB as they say in Kentucky — off-the-track Thoroughbred.” “There is a clear trend moving,” McConnell said. “Sucking up to Donald Trump is not a strategy that works.”

That vote was necessary as a stand-alone bill because far-left anti-Semites, mostly members of the so-called “squad,” joined forces earlier in the week to strip the funding from the main budget bill. Naturally, those who live to see Israel wiped off the face of the Earth didn’t take it well as scenes of lunacy were presented on the floor.
