its always funny when I try to explain to global warming fanatics that in order to grow plants faster you have to increase CO2 levels from 300ppm to 1200ppm, they usually can't wrap their minds around it. Plants are currently suffocating on planet earth due to the low CO2 levels.
Could you explain this in more detail? I'm something of a global warming fanatic myself but I'd like to try and wrap my mind around this concept.
Plants need CO2 to grow. Its the main macro-nutrient besides water. The more CO2, the faster it will grow. If you increase the CO2 levels from 300 parts per million to 1200 parts per million you will get a huge increase in the speed and size of growth of any plant. You can increase the CO2 level very easily by buying a CO2 tank and releasing it near the plants, or you can do what I do and brew wine right next to the plant because the byproduct of the yeast creating alcohol from sugar is CO2. But whenever I try to explain this to the global warming crowd, and other facts debunking global warming, they get really really upset. I think one time I even got called a racist for pointing out scientific fact.
