Alberta Rejects Trudeau's Net Zero Lunacy, Highlights CO2’s Benefits On Crops, Earth

As the love affair with so-called green energy cools and “net zero†commitments to eliminate “carbon emissions†wane, we see glimmers of acknowledgment for the benefits of carbon dioxide. [emphasis, links added]

Thatâ€s right: More people are beginning to understand that the gas—widely demonized as a pollutant endangering Earth with excessive heat—is a life-giving substance needed in greater amounts.

U.S. voters know President-elect Donald Trump declared the Green New Deal a “scam†and promises to return common sense to environmental regulations and energy development. His return to office rests partly on that pledge.

German politicians whose green fetish has produced economic decline face serious electoral challenges in Europe.

Developing countries like India ignore “decarbonization†promises to aggressively develop coal mines and import more fuel to spur growth and eradicate poverty.

Less frequently reported is the story of carbon dioxide emissions greening the Earth and boosting crop production.

Educating the public on the benefits of carbon dioxide is the mission of the CO2 Coalition, which I lead. We sponsor speakers and publish scientifically based materials for adults and children.

Much of the information is about the role of CO2 as a beneficial greenhouse gas in moderating the extremes between daytime and nighttime temperatures and as a photosynthetic plant food.

“Fossil Fuels Are the Greenest Energy Sources†by Dr. Indur Goklany is an example of our work.

Did you know that up to 50% of the globe has experienced increased vegetation and that 70% of the greening is attributed to plant fertilization by carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels?

Or that nearly 200,000 square kilometers of the southern Sahara have been converted to a lush grassland from the desert?

Few have heard that doubling atmospheric CO2 from its current concentration of 420 ppm would significantly increase agricultural productivity and have little effect on the climate.

It appears that some of this knowledge has reached Canada because Albertaâ€s ruling Unified Conservative Party (UCP) recently approved a resolution that promotes the salutary effects of CO2 and endorses an outright rejection of the national governmentâ€s net zero policy.

“It is estimated that (atmospheric) CO2 levels need to be above 150 ppm (parts per million) to ensure the survival of plant life,†says the proposal for a resolution eventually adopted by the party.

“The Earth needs more CO2 to support life and to increase plant yields, both of which will contribute to the health and prosperity of all Albertans.â€

The UCP calls for abandoning CO2â€s designation as a pollutant and for recognizing the gas as “a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth.â€

The UCPâ€s action was not well received by the likes of DeSmog, an online platform of climate alarmists, which called the partyâ€s resolution “a brazen display of climate science denial that harkens back to the 1990s fossil fuel industry playbook.â€

DeSmog reported that the UCP had credited the “notorious†CO2 Coalition as its source of information—much to our gratification.

Except for the politically connected in the climate industrial complex, the carbon footprint phobia of recent years is a threat to everybodyâ€s economic well-being. But it is a direct assault on a place like Alberta.

Perhaps second only to the Canadian Rockies, the most distinguishing natural resource of the western province is its huge deposit of oil sands—the worldâ€s fourth-largest proven reserve of “black gold.â€

Employing nearly 140,000 people and generating $17 billion in royalties, the oil industry is valued by Albertans.

“The problem is net zero has become a shorthand for ‘leave it in the ground,â€â€ says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. She plans to fight “the federal government and a coalition of extreme environmentalists who want to stop the production of oil and gas altogether.â€

It is a good day when we find ourselves on the side of people fighting for the freedom to prosper as they contribute to the atmospheric store of carbon dioxide that enriches ecosystems and engenders life.

To paraphrase Donald Trump: Letâ€s make CO2 great again.
