A ‘greening’ Earth is bad for plant-eating animals

Original Article

More pure idiocy from green pushers spread by the complicit media, via Yahoo News: Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers More than one-third of all animals on Earth, from beetles to cows to elephants, depend on plant-based diets. Plants are a low-calorie food source, so it can be challenging for animals to consume enough energy to meet their needs. Now climate change is reducing the nutritional value of some foods that plant eaters rely on. Human activities are increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and raising global temperatures. As a result, many plants are growing faster across ecosystems worldwide.

This pap should surprise no one at this point in time. CO2 is a pollutant according to these fools, and mankind's miniscule contribution of CO2 is the straw that is breaking the camel's back. Now this! Derisive words currently escape me concerning this clownery.

Gee: Lets see Green plants are growing because of CO2, but it is less nutritious. So what? There is more of it so they just have to eat more. Don't the Green plants make Oxygen>More green plants more oxygen. which animals use to make CO2. I didn't plan this it was planned millenniums before humans got here, but it seems to me to be working fine.

Re #6. Don't assume that because they SAY it is less nutritious that this is factual. I doubt it is true. Anything the climatistas say, I assume is another lie until proven otherwise.

While I am not an expert I have done some reading and am aware of some interesting information. First, plants in general reach peak growth efficiency when CO2 levels reach around 1000 PPM, 2.5 times the current levels. Further, plants are capable, over long spans of time (multiple generations), of modifying their structure to take advantage of extra CO2. These modifications allow them to, for example, survive drought conditions better. Also, they pump CO2 into greenhouses to improve growth. If the resulting products were somehow defective due to higher CO2, wouldn't they be stupid to keep doing it? Yet they continue to do it. Do you know that if CO2 dropped to 150 PPM, most plants would start dying off, followed by the animals? They cannot function with CO2 that low. Then the question comes up, if higher CO2 plants are less nutritious, what is it they might lack? Most likely, minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur. These are available in fertilizers and different soils need to have a boost of different things to get the best growth. I would speculate that an article like this comes up with such a conclusion because of the concept of scarcity. That would expect that if plants grow twice as big there was only enough nutrients for the original size plant to begin with, the larger plants would only each have 1/2 the nutrients per area. That is a simplistic view of plant growth. Farmers are well aware of how to improve nutrients in soil and add fertilizers or rotate crops to balance things out. Plus there is nothing to prove that the needed nutrients aren't available in abundance to begin with. Again, go back to the greenhouse example. To get the best growth with more CO2, the right amount of nutrients must also be made available. This is farming 101. I would guess that numerous studies have been on the best use of high CO2 environments.

Excellent points, #8. We need to have MORE CO2, it is NOT a pollutant but a wonderful plant growth accelerator. This needs to be taught in every single school in the country, the world.

It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most. "Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.

Following up on John’s post regarding the terrorist attack outside the Trump International Hotel yesterday in Las Vegas, I want to note that police now say camp-fuel canisters and large firework mortars were stuffed into the back of a Tesla Cybertruck. These materials caused the explosion that killed the driver and inflicted minor injuries on seven others. Elon Musk and Tesla immediately provided assistance to law enforcement in the investigation. Elon himself reported on X that he had “confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” In fact, the design

Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency is coming to an end, and according to reports, White House staffers describe a somber mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with Biden spending his final weeks in office reflecting on what could have been and probably wondering what other monsters he can pardon. While Biden has recently expressed regret over dropping out and says he could have won, according to the Wall Street Journal, that belief “isn’t widely shared in the White House or among the Democratic establishment, where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had Biden remained the nominee.”

Looking back over this year, and really the last eight years, perhaps the oddest observation is the degree to which the media was apparently motivated by one thing: if Trump said it, it must be wrong! I started thinking about that this morning when Jonathan Turley observed the degree to which the media and the conventional wisdom combined to suppress and even explicitly censor the theory that SARS-CoV-2, the “COVID virus,” originated in a lab leak. The whole history of theories of the origin of COVID-19 was full of people announcing with absolute certainty that it originated in one particular way, generally with limited data. Some of the theories were

The disintegration of the attempted coverup of President Biden’s senility must be the biggest American news story of 2024. President Trump highlighted the contribution of prominent Democrats to the coverup in the video compilation below. Who are your favorite contributors? Attorney General Merrick Garland is probably mine. Thanks to the reviled Mitch McConnell, Garland does not hold a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen runs a close second. General Milley is beyond category. What a crew. (X) But politicians are always going to lie. The mainstream press is the villain of the story.

It seems President Biden won’t stop at letting his convicted son Hunter off the hook. The White House staff is reportedly pondering an unprecedented, pre-emptive set of presidential pardons for numerous officials who haven’t been formally charged or convicted of federal crimes but may be liable for indictment or conviction under the incoming Trump administration. Prominent on that list is Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID). Why Fauci? Team Biden is mum. But the most likely rationale is a possible perjury charge: Fauci testified under oath in congressional inquiries. At issue: Fauci’s responses to the crucial question of whether American

In September 2022, 17-year-old high school volleyball player Payton McNabb was seriously injured during a match by an opposing player, a boy who decided he was transgender. The injuries Payton received plague her to this day. The Independent Women's Forum has her story and has produced a documentary about her struggle and her heroic journey to stand up for the rights of women and girls. Payton's story highlights, among other things, one of the most pernicious aspects of the transgender movement: the utter disregard for other people. It is not enough that children are sexualized and their bodies and minds irrevocably altered by surgery, hormones, and puberty blockers.

Among the most significant advances in upholding the Second Amendment has been the spread of Constitutional Carry (CC). Circa January 2024, 29 states allow CC: Louisiana and South Carolina have joined 27 other states in recognizing Constitutional Carry. The others on that roll are: Alabama; Alaska; Arizona; Arkansas; Florida; Georgia; Idaho; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Kentucky; Maine; Mississippi; Missouri; Montana; Nebraska; New Hampshire; North Dakota; Ohio; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah; Vermont; West Virginia; and Wyoming.

The public appearance last fall of a senile Jimmy Carter was one of the worst cases of public elder abuse I’ve ever seen. It was ghoulish of his family to wheel him out in such an undignified condition in service of a political stunt on behalf of the Democratic Party, even if Carter wanted to bask in the glow of knowing that soon he would no longer be regarded as America’s worst modern president after Joe Biden’s ignominious end.

President Joe Biden, a medically confirmed non-compos mentis elderly man, has displayed the resolute spitefulness that comes with the Alzheimer’s disease, even while allegedly serving his duties as President of the United States. Coming on the heels of the first world-wide pandemic in a hundred years, the 2020 election provided the perfect environment for the Democrats to try and derail a Trump presidency that had produced several noteworthy economic, political, and social achievements. True to form, the Democrats and the Mainstream Media (MSM) conspired to pull out all the stops to prevent Trump from being re-elected.

In name, Joe Biden is America’s 46th president. His “signature” is on official documents. He is photographed periodically, whether in the Oval Office, wandering in foreign lands, or inappropriately sniffing or nibbling young children. But he is the president in name only. Is Joe Biden even real? As this tweet illustrates, his height varies. In one photo, Donald Trump and Barack Obama are the same height. In another, Obama is taller than Biden, and in another photo, Biden is taller than Trump. Like an Escher print, this optical illusion begs the question of whether there is more than one “Joe Biden.” I doubt Barack Obama is growing or shrinking,

DOVER, Del.—It was her last day in session as a Delaware state senator, and Sarah McBride sat in her tiny office at the state Capitol, preparing farewell remarks. She had made history here, as the first openly transgender state senator in the country. Now she was making history again, recently elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress. Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights, when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia confirmed that 14 victims died in the attack, along with the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, bringing the total to 15 fatalities. “This was a premeditated, evil act,” Raia told reporters. Officials revealed that Jabbar posted five videos between 1:20 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. on New Year’s Day, proclaiming support for ISIS.
