Gsnds··on Microsoft’s quest to go ‘carbon negative’ inspires $1B fund
>It's a very progressive tax and will be extremely effective.

anything the government gets their greasy hands on instantly becomes the most inefficient and cost overrun thing on the face of the earth. Hasn't their track record proven it by far and large?

Yes, More Taxes, truly the magical elixir of the modern era

I would like to see the information that backs this up, and see if it can be replicated in many controlled scenarios and not just some think thank that cherry picks data to push a narrative. If a human was left alone in a chamber pumped full of elevated levels of CO2 i could see how humans would be less cognitive, but you have to remember there would also be higher levels of oxygen, which promotes brain growth and function

>climate change itself. Its negative consequences—such as drought and heat stress—would likely overwhelm any direct benefits that rising CO2 might offer plant life.

Climate Change is a buzzword, without going into the whole debate, the earth has and always will go through a series of warming and cooling, it happens to all of the planets within our own solar system, and even our own sun. Like the grand solar minimum.

>Rising CO2’s effect on crops could also harm human health. “We know unequivocally that when you grow food at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious,”

Yes but glyphosate and heavy metals in the atmosphere that rains down on the soil and a steady amount of lead water hydrating the crops are just fine and dandy

>Humans also require water to survive. That doesn't stop tsunamis from killing people.

Yes, but earthquakes cause tsunamis, and what causes the earthquakes? elevated levels of Co2? No it comes from a mixture of reasons, a diminishing magnetic field in the earths atmosphere, and a constant bombardment of solar winds that pound into the magma of the earth causing it to shift around
