They buy the fraud of climate change

I get more frustrated every day as so many people continue to call for and suggest means for reducing carbon dioxide saturation and continuing emissions. At the same time, I saw a post on Facebook that I only glanced at that claimed that food production was going to have to increase by huge numbers to support the worldwide population increase that is projected.

If population is going to grow and more food is to be required, then why would anyone want to reduce the rate of emission, or worse yet, actually seek to reduce the volume of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Do they not know that carbon dioxide together with water and sunshine provides the carbon which is one of the basic building blocks of that very food supply they are worried about? Have they really bought completely into the fraud of carbon dioxide-driven climate change? Don’t they yet understand there is no warming?

I remember from high school biology that carbon dioxide, water and sunshine react in the process known as photosynthesis to produce the hydrocarbons that are vegetable matter: leaves, stems, fruits, seeds. Did these people just get really poor educations?

Carbon dioxide is a trace gas that gives life to all things.
