Hello Buzz, Interesting website with a different point of view then climate alarmist, as they put it. Their main argument is that CO2 is a "amazingly effective aerial fertilizer". "Is carbon dioxide a harmful air pollutant, or is it an amazingly effective aerial fertilizer?" From time to time, the subject of using CO2 on orchids comes up on this forum. If memory serves me correctly the consensus during these discussions was that CO2 supplementing was of little or no help to orchid growth and that it was not worth it. Basically, culture of orchids is a system adding more fertilizer, CO2, or other cultural elements can, more often then not, be detrimental. That normal CO2 levels are fine. Buzz, do you use CO2 to fertilize your orchids or does anyone?
Putting aside whether CO2 is a "amazingly effective aerial fertilizer", the thing I do not understand is how the argument that more CO2 will help plants disputes climate alarmist? I think that climate scientist are talking about the accumulation of CO2 high up in the atmosphere forming a "blanket" around the earth. The top of the highest trees are not even close to this increase of CO2 for them to use. I couldn't find anything on the website to explain this.

It makes for lots of food for thought. _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
