Quick tax plants bought from Garden centres, they produce lots of CO2 so must be bad for the environment

Do you ever get the feeling that no one really knows how our climate system works in the long term, and end up grasping at straws to try to prove their way of thinking!

looking at this animated climate model no real change occurs for over a century, then suddenly BANG temperatures soar by up to 10 degrees! Talk about sensationalist media hype green lentilist spin.

But anyway, Plants the new Car?

We like to think we know how everything works, and most people are under the impression that we are and that scientists in their white coats can explain everything and know perfectly well what is going on.

The reality is we dont know crap all in the grand scheme of things, we just kid ourselves that we do, thats how its always been, we do progress every so often and laugh at how stupid we were previously, which we will probably do in a few decades unless the madness takes over for longer, like the dark ages.

Had a feeling Plants only produce CO2 when dying whilst alive the turn CO2 into O2.

Trying to remember lessons from School

That is correct. Animals breath oxygen and emit CO2. So the only solution is for us all to kill ourselves.

All plant life produces both CO2 and oxygene. The process is called photosynthesis. Used to be on the O level biology sylabus until the lentilists removed it to aid global warming spin. Plants and trees produce CO2 when light levels fall and oxygen when light levels are high. Plants grow fastest in light, thats why some green houses have 24 hour lighting. The study that the green BBC are reporting is nothing to do with science and all the computer models are just playstation stuff. Ie. Its not real don't worry about it.
