If anyone thinks that the “carbon footprint” meme is anything other than a hoax in support of an international power grab, I have this bridge …
First, CO2 is a trace gas – 0.04% of the atmosphere. Second, only 3% is man-made; 97% is from nature, and of that 3%, the US accounts for 14%. You do the math: 0.000168 percent of the atmosphere is CO2 produced by the U.S. and theoretically available for our “reduction.” Sheer lunacy.
Third, from a geological perspective, due to sequestration of carbon dioxide by coral and other hard-bodied animals who use it to make calcium carbonate shells, we are near a historical CO2 atmospheric low point -> 400 parts per million – extremely low, and near the 150 ppm threshold for die-off of plants – which, by the way, produce 100% of the oxygen that keeps all animals, including humans, alive.
So our elected and appointed “leaders” – innocent of the most basic science – and more importantly, math – skills plan to turn the world’s economy upside down and LITERALLY starve millions of people, in service to a cadre of fanatics who don’t know what they are talking about, who in turn serve elites who do, but need every “crisis” to carry forward their personal plans for wealth and power.
I CAN do math. Count me out.
