Dear editor,
The slight rise of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is undeniable.
However, the cause of the problem, according to progressive liberal Democrats — carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and methane from cows — is false, a convenient lie.
I coined a phrase — "Carbon Dioxide Filtering Capacity," the true cause for rising CO2 levels — in my book, "Four Branches of Government in Our Founding Fathers' Words.” What filters carbon dioxide from the air? Plant life. Also, realize plant life will not exist without carbon dioxide. So, as we remove plant life from our planet to accommodate human life (homes, buildings, roads, shopping malls, etc.), we reduce Earth's Carbon Dioxide Filtering Capacity, or the ability for our Earth to filter and clean our air.
The slight rise of CO2 is another sign of an over-populated world. I believe the first sign is the continuous reduction of wildlife around the world. Our building habits promote a rising temperature with the materials we use in this process. The term "cat on a hot tin roof" exists for a reason, or "hot enough to fry a egg on the sidewalk.” Ever try to fry an egg on the grass next to that same sidewalk? Manmade heat-absorbing materials versus nature's non-heat absorbing materials.
These types of materials are no more than manmade heat pumps that every minute of every sunny day delivers hotter air (solar power plants also do this with its needed heat to generate power) to our lower atmosphere, which is where most temperature measurements are recorded.
As we continually multiply in population and build (clearing land or paying farmers not to plant an empty field), we promote every aspect of what is creating the problem. If we remove all vegetation on Earth, will it really matter what we pump or don't pump into our atmosphere?
Someone, please answer this and show how I am wrong. Don't say, "I want dirty air and water," because what is pumped into our atmosphere does matter, but destroying our economy over something that won't fix the problem is the stupidity of the progressive liberal left around the world.
If you don't understand the question and cause, how can you possibly offer a correct answer for the problem — unless it is an incorrect answer that supports your political views and the party's ambitions?
(Liberals) are leading you down a rabbit hole, and you’re going to pay dearly following with extremely higher energy prices!
Two parents (having just) two kids and the population will slowly decrease — or keep breeding like human-fed feral cats!
Humans are the problem in so many different ways!
