National Geographic states that “Most life on Earth depends on photosynthesis.” Photosynthesis is the process in plants where light, water, carbon dioxide and nutrients are taken in and transformed into glucose and oxygen. Therefore, most life on Earth depends on carbon dioxide. Without carbon dioxide, there would be no photosynthesis.
Respiration is the process by which animals take in oxygen and nutrients (such as glucose) and transform them into carbon dioxide, energy and waste. Without oxygen, there would be no respiration.
Reducing carbon dioxide directly limits photosynthesis. This will reduce the plant population. Plants absorb light as part of the photosynthesis process. Reducing carbon dioxide, reduces the plant population and less light energy is absorbed which produces higher temperatures.
The global warming part of climate change can come from the effect that reduction in carbon dioxide results in lowering the plant population. We need more plants to absorb light energy, which will reduce temperatures.
There is no scientific basis for reducing carbon dioxide. Cicero states that “True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting.”
Photosynthesis is a “true law” as it is right reason in agreement with nature. Our Creator provided for photosynthesis and respiration to provide a balance between plants and animals.
There is no rational reason to violate the unalienable right of plants to have carbon dioxide. Any attempt to reduce carbon dioxide levels violates the Earth’s Balance of Nature. Every person should oppose this insane attempt to reduce carbon dioxide.
