What a difference that extra 120 ppm has made for plants, and for animals and humans that depend on them.

Atmospheric radiation absorption and emission are dominated by the presence of all three phases of H 2 O. Like all molecules, CO 2 only absorbs and emits specific spectral wavelengths (14.77 microns) that constitute a tiny fraction of solar radiation energy in Earth's atmosphere. The first 50 ppm of CO2 absorbs about half of this tiny energy, each additional 50 ppm absorbs half of the remaining tiny fraction, so at the current 380 ppm there are almost no absorbable photons left. CO2 could triple to 1,000 ppm with no additional discernable absorptionemission. This is the Beer-Lambert Law: The intensity of radiation decreases exponentially as it passes through an absorbing medium.	2_not_human	FLICC	https://huggingface.co/datasets/fzanartu/FLICCdataset	en	CARDS	null	402

Mr. Marshall’s company, Go Newclear Productions, both created and hosted websites for both Ethical Oil and Conservative cabinet ministers Joe Oliver, Pierre Poilievre and Jason Kenney. There are indications that these web-sites were programmed by Travis Freeman, who was simultaneously a member of the Go Newclear team and an employee of the Conservative Caucus Research Bureau amie Ellerton, the next Ethical Oil Institute Spokesperson and Executive Director from January 2012 to April 2013, also has a close association with Minister Kenney, having been his Executive Assistant from July 2008 to September 2010. After working for Minister Kenney, Mr. Ellerton was Executive Assistant to Ontario Conservative Party leader Tim Hudak he employees of the Ethical Oil Institute are not the only physical link between the organization and the Conservative Party of Canada. As has been pointed out in the media, the Ethical Oil Institute’s mailing address was previously used by Treasury Board President and Conservative MP Tony Clement’s re-election campaign eyond this apparent coordination of resources, the Ethical Oil Institute and its spokespeople have consistently both anticipated and echoed Conservative Party messaging about the oil sands.	0_not_relevant	Desmog	https://www.desmog.com/ethical-oil-institute/	en	null	null	5,107

The more carbon dioxide there is in the atmosphere, the more it is absorbed by plants of every description - and the faster and better they grow, even under adverse conditions like limited water, extremely hot air temperatures, or infestations of insects, weeds and other pests. As trees, grasses, algae and crops grow more rapidly and become healthier and more robust, animals and humans enjoy better nutrition on a planet that is greener and greener.

There used to be a large number of fires in the early part of the 20th Century and before that,” Mass said. “People don’t realize that this used to be a very smoky place because we have forests all around us. There used to be fires all the time. So smoke is not unknown around here. So what is unusual is that we suppressed the fires for almost 100 years. So people got used to the fact there weren’t a lot of fires and smoke, but that’s the natural state around here.

Atmospheric radiation absorption and emission are dominated by the presence of all three phases of H 2 O. Like all molecules, CO 2 only absorbs and emits specific spectral wavelengths (14.77 microns) that constitute a tiny fraction of solar radiation energy in Earth's atmosphere. The first 50 ppm of CO2 absorbs about half of this tiny energy, each additional 50 ppm absorbs half of the remaining tiny fraction, so at the current 380 ppm there are almost no absorbable photons left. CO2 could triple to 1,000 ppm with no additional discernable absorptionemission. This is the Beer-Lambert Law: The intensity of radiation decreases exponentially as it passes through an absorbing medium.

Judaism cannot make peace with homosexuality because homosexuality denies many of Judaism’s most fundamental principles. It denies life, it denies God’s expressed desire that men and women cohabit, and it denies the root structure that Judaism wishes for all mankind, the family. ithout citing a source, Prager also notes, “While the typical lesbian has had fewer than ten ‘lovers,’ the typical male homosexual in America has had over 500. […] Men, not women, are sexually sadistic. The indiscriminate sex that characterizes much of male homosexual life represents the antithesis of Judaism’s goal of elevating human life from the animal-like to the Godlike.

There is compelling evidence of a direct relationship and a coordinated communications strategy between the Ethical Oil Institute and the CPC, including mirrored messaging from the Ethical Oil Institute and Conservative Cabinet Ministers, and crossover between the Ethical Oil Institute staff and Ministerial staff he Ethical Oil Institute claims that it is an independent, grassroots organization. It states that its website, EthicalOil.org, “began as a blog created by Alykhan Velshi” in July 2011 to promote ideas espoused by journalist Ezra Levant in his book Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oil Sands owever, the organization’s Articles of Association name prominent pro-oil sands lawyer Thomas Ross, and Ezra Levant himself, as its two officers s for Alykhan Velshi, immediately prior to “creating” EthicalOil.org, Mr. Velshi was Director of Communications and Parliamentary Affairs for then-Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Jason Kenney. Just months after launching EthicalOil.org, he returned to government, accepting a senior position with the Prime Minister’s Office athryn Marshall took over from Mr. Velshi as spokesperson for Ethical Oil in September 2011.1 Ms. Marshall also has Conservative Party connections and is married to Hamish Marshall, a former manager of strategic planning in Stephen Harper’s PMO. Mr. Marshall’s company, Go Newclear Productions, both created and hosted websites for both Ethical Oil and Conservative cabinet ministers Joe Oliver, Pierre Poilievre and Jason Kenney. There are indications that these web-sites were programmed by Travis Freeman, who was simultaneously a member of the Go Newclear team and an employee of the Conservative Caucus Research Bureau amie Ellerton, the next Ethical Oil Institute Spokesperson and Executive Director from January 2012 to April 2013, also has a close association with Minister Kenney, having been his Executive Assistant from July 2008 to September 2010. After working for Minister Kenney, Mr. Ellerton was Executive Assistant to Ontario Conservative Party leader Tim Hudak he employees of the Ethical Oil Institute are not the only physical link between the organization and the Conservative Party of Canada. As has been pointed out in the media, the Ethical Oil Institute’s mailing address was previously used by Treasury Board President and Conservative MP Tony Clement’s re-election campaign eyond this apparent coordination of resources, the Ethical Oil Institute and its spokespeople have consistently both anticipated and echoed Conservative Party messaging about the oil sands.

The Pope is right. It is a good idea to ask actual scientists about their best guess of the uncertainties involved in climate change. One thing every climate scientist, myself included, will tell you is that it is 100% certain the climate will change,” Briggs wrote at The Stream.1 It’s just as certain that nothing on earth can stop the climate from changing. Let me emphasize that ‘nothing.’ It means just what it says. Nothing The climate of the earth has never stood still, and never will. That means efforts to ‘battle’ or ‘stop’ climate change are futile. This position in physics is known as climate realism.

The proposals to curb industry and energy consumption to avert global warming echo the ‘limits to growth’ alarms of the 1970s. Back then, groups like the Club of Rome proposed Draconian curbs on industrialization and urbanization because the world was supposedly about to run out of petroleum and other natural resources. These arguments resonated with the oil crises of the decade (even though these crises were, in fact, created by strategic, political, and economic factors, not true scarcity). Eventually deregulation and a saner foreign policy exposed these arguments for the shams that they were.
