Part of the never ending battle to categorize every chemical as either “good” or “bad”

    It’s proven more co2 will expand forests and make nature grow quick, that’s not why co2 is bad. Co2 traps the planets heat like a blanket, which make temperature rise which dries out plants and create extreme weather.

      Do those generators actually generate CO2 or do they just somehow pump it in from outside?

      Edit: I looked it up, apparently it’s just doing it by burning natural gas, so it’s definitely terrible for the environment and super wasteful.

      Exactly. Location, location, location. Just as ice chunks the size of small nations do not belong cleaved off of the Antarctic shelf to float out into the ocean. Or how drought belongs in arid climates, not South Carolina.

      If it dries out plants why do greenhouse growers buy CO2 generators?! GOTCHA!!!

        It’s not the co2 but the heat that dries out plants, greenhouse growers just open a window if it gets to hot in there
