Zero carbon translates into zero life, zero people, and certainly zero intelligence. Carbon is not the enemy; it is the backbone of all life on Earth. Without carbon dioxide, plants cannot photosynthesize. Without plants, there is no food, no oxygen, no civilization, and no humanity. Yet the world’s attention remains fixed on the slogan of “net zero,” as though eliminating carbon were a virtue rather than an assault on the very foundation of life.
I am writing a book about carbon dioxide medicine, and I am sure it will surprise many people when I declare it as one of the best medicines we have. It comes close to being the perfect medicine, I kid you not. Soon we will be celebrating with the worlds plants who enjoy the increases of CO2, and soon, if not already, we will be wishing it had a greater warming effect.
The media has been relentless in its coverage of record-breaking summer heat across Europe and parts of the United States. Far less attention is given to the record-breaking cold affecting other regions of the world. Vast areas of the globe are experiencing temperatures well below seasonal norms, setting cold records that receive little or no coverage.
The change is sudden, and, shockingly, no politician or climate scientist will acknowledge what is happening despite El Niño. Yes, after all, summertime in the Northern Hemisphere. Heat waves are not new. Throughout the last century, societies have endured periods of exceptional summer heat, just as they have experienced periods of exceptional cold. Focusing exclusively on one side of the climate ledger while ignoring the other creates an incomplete picture of what is actually occurring.
