  1. The development of penicillin as a widely available, life-saving medicine was heavily dependent on technologies and resources derived from fossil fuels. While Alexander Fleming discovered the mold's antibiotic properties in 1928, mass-producing it required industrial-scale, energy-intensive processes that were not feasible without the power and materials provided by the industrial age.
  2. Mankind was crap pre 1880. Lived to 35yo and had no decent knowledge to survive against disease. Modern cars are clean.
  3. Humans lived to 35yo pre 1880 before cars. Fossil fuels led to cars,planes, vitamins and penicillin.
  4. The ideal level for maximizing corn (Zea mays) growth and yield, particularly in controlled environments, is generally considered to be in the range of 550 to 650 ppm. While some studies suggest higher, up to 800 ppm, in specific cases, 600–650 ppm is often cited as optimal for balancing increased carbon fixation with nutrient, temperature, and moisture limitations. Ideal for Growth & Photosynthesis: Research indicates the "sweet spot" for wheat biomass and photosynthesis is approximately 890 ppm to 970 ppm.
  5. Ideal CO2 for Potato Growth (Greenhouse/Field) Optimal Growth Range: 700 to 900 ppm is recommended for maximizing growth and yield. Maximum Levels: Levels above 1000 ppm can cause leaf injuries and reduce growth. Benefits: Elevated CO2 can boost tuber yield by 9-21% and help potatoes withstand higher temperatures. For carrots grown in greenhouses or controlled environments, elevating levels can dramatically increase root weight and development. Ideal Range: 800 – 1,200 ppm. Saturation Point: Maximum growth rates are typically achieved around 1,000 – 1,300 ppm. Yield Impact: Increasing to roughly 550 ppm has been shown to increase carrot root weight by 31%
  6. Yes, Dr. William Happer, a physicist and Professor Emeritus at Princeton University, has argued that increasing atmospheric to roughly 800 to 1,000 ppm (parts per million) would be "optimal" for the Earth and its inhabitants. Happer’s position is based on the following claims regarding climate science and agriculture: "CO2 Famine": Happer argues that Earth is currently in a " famine" at roughly 400-420 ppm, and that historically, CO2 levels have been much higher, which benefited plant life. Agricultural Benefits: He contends that higher concentrations (specifically citing 800-1000 ppm) increase photosynthesis, improve water efficiency in plants, and boost crop yields, making it beneficial for feeding a growing population. Minimal Warming: Happer argues that is a "weak" greenhouse gas and that doubling from current levels would cause only a "small and benign" increase in global temperature, around 1°C or less. Saturation Principle: He argues that the heat-trapping effect of is largely "saturated" at current levels, meaning adding more will have a negligible effect on global temperature.
  7. Apart from food and shelter life is kind of just marking time and pretending to be busy.
  8. Yes fossil fuels saved humans from millions of deaths and disease. These alarmists only exist due to them. Their parents as well.
  9. Around 2206 Co2 will reach 700ppm. Ideal for plants. Just imagine the planes and cars in 2206! Probably be like the Jetsons cartoons finally!
  10. We will both be dead before then.
  11. The ozone has not repaired fully yet. Fossil fuels made you move to Thailand. You might not have been born without them.
  12. About 11bn people. More attractive women. A plane will go from Bangkok to Phuket in 20 minutes. A boat will go from Bangkok to Samui in 1 hour.
  13. The world will be better in 50 years. Abundant plants, great planes and cars.
  14. That is the future of society. No need for elections.
  15. We all have an inner communist and capitalist sitting on our shoulders.
  16. For rice, a typical C3 crop, the ideal concentration for maximizing growth and yield is between 500 and 800 ppm.
  17. Co2 of 430ppm is low for grass as well. The optimal CO2 levels for the aboveground biomass were 945, 915, and 1151 ppm, and for the total biomass were 915, 1178, and 1386 ppm for tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively
  18. Cannabis: This is one of the most responsive crops to elevated . Levels of 800-1,200 ppm are typically used to maximize yields and reduce production time, especially during the vegetative and early-to-mid flowering stages. Tomatoes & Peppers: These crops thrive in elevated environments, with 800-1200 ppm often recommended for faster, higher-yield production. Cucumbers: Similar to tomatoes, cucumbers benefit from higher levels to accelerate growth, especially during rapid establishment. Lettuce & Leafy Greens: 800-1000 ppm supports faster development and larger, healthier leaves.
  19. 430ppm is low for plants. They go better at 600 to 1000.
  20. Only 3 climate scientists with lots of peer reviewed papers. Two are skeptics.
  21. You have never met a climate scientist and there are only a small number with many peer reviewed studies.
  22. Based on historical climate data and proxy records, the most unstable climate in recent human history was the period surrounding the year 536 AD, often cited as the "worst year to be alive" due to a mysterious, long-lasting volcanic dust veil that caused widespread crop failure, famine, and extreme cold across Eurasia. Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften +1 Other notable periods of extreme climate instability include: The Year Without a Summer (1816): Following the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, this period saw severe global cooling, resulting in summer frosts and snow in New England and Europe, leading to the last great subsistence crisis in the Western world. The Younger Dryas (approx. 12,500 years ago): A period where temperatures in the North Atlantic fluctuated between full glacial conditions and interglacial warmth on a subdecadal scale. The Little Ice Age (14th–19th Century): A prolonged, unstable period characterized by harsh winters, cold summers, and massive agricultural disruption, partially driven by increased volcanic activity.
