Fighting climate change.... from space! Scientist unveils bizarre plot to CATCH an asteroid and tether an enormous umbrella to it in an attempt to shield us from the sun's rays

István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaiʻi, suggests tethering a massive 'solar shield' from an asteroid out in space

Artist's impression of the system: The asteroid, bottom left, is tethering the triangular solar shield, which is blocking sunlight

And then it would proceed to kill all plant life. Great idea. 

 

And CO2 is our enemy, too.

 

:facepalm3:   :facepalm3:   :facepalm3:

 

So, OK, the article below provides information that we are ALL gonna die at either an atmospheric CO2 level of nominally 150 ppm (too little) or 2,000 ppm (too much). We are currently at an atmospheric CO2 level of, nominally, 350 - 400 ppm.

 

Big.

 

Whoop.

 

With the higher CO2 levels, higher atmospheric temperatures to 36 C (97 F) are fully needed where a whopping 450% plant growth can be achieved with the higher atmospheric CO2 levels AND higher atmospheric temperatures!!!

 

:backflip:   :backflip:   :backflip:

 

What the Green House Gases/Glow Bull Warming IDIOTS will NOT tell us!!!

 

Obviously, CO2 levels influence more than plant growth, such as water and ocean water acidity, whereas being nominally twice the necessary atmospheric CO2 concentration is NONE to be concerned about.

 

How CO2 impacts Ideal Temperature for Growing Plants

For indoor growers, it is critical to maximize productivity using limited resources and space, while keeping costs at a minimum. If you don’t understand how CO2 supplementation influences photosynthesis and plant growth, you’re limiting the productivity and profitability of your operation. 

 

This guide helps indoor plant growers and greenhouse owners easily and effectively improve plant productivity and quality by understanding how CO2 enrichment influences plant growth, and how it interacts with the driving force behind plant transpiration: VPD. 

 


Quick Summary

  • Higher CO2 concentrations increase the ideal temperature for photosynthesis. 
  • During photosynthesis, plants absorb both water and CO2 from the soil and air, but as temperatures increase, VPD increases, stomata close, and the uptake of CO2 is reduced, causing plant stress. As a result, it is critical for growers to maintain ideal VPD levels at higher temperatures.
  • To achieve optimal VPD at higher temperatures, humidity levels must be increased. 
  • At higher humidity levels, there is a greater risk of plants getting diseases (bud rot, powdery mildew, etc.) and pests, which need to be managed.
  • To take advantage of increased CO2 levels, maintain optimal VPD by increasing relative humidity while managing pest and disease risk.

 


What CO2 Does for Plants

  • CO2 is used for photosynthesis, the process that plants use to produce energy in the form of glucose. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs light into a plant’s cells, which helps synthesize nutrients from water and CO2. Oxygen is released back into the air, and CO2 is transformed into glucose, a sugar molecule which provides plants with fuel to grow.
  • Chemical reactions occur during photosynthesis. The main chemical reaction is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light yields C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that carbon dioxide + water + light yields glucose + oxygen. 
  • Studies have been conducted analyzing the effects of higher temperatures and CO2 concentration with the yield of increased crop growth. Higher concentrations of CO2 have been found to increase healthy plant growth. 
    • study was conducted to determine the effects of higher CO2 concentration and the cultivation of Japanese rice. Crop yields increased for all five different cultivators studied, ranging from 3.4% to 30.3%.
    • Another study compared the net rate of photosynthesis in tomato plants at different CO2 concentrations and different light intensities. The results determined that both net photosynthesis and optimal growing temperature increase dramatically with an increase in CO2 concentration regardless of light intensity.
    • A different study compared the effect of elevated CO2 concentration and higher temperature on potato crop yields. This study concluded that although elevated temperatures alone can negatively influence the growth of potatoes, a higher CO2 concentration in conjunction with higher temperatures promotes healthier production and better quality of potato crops.
 

How Does Photosynthesis get Influenced by CO2

CO2 is an essential component of photosynthesis. This is important for greenhouse production that aims to optimize crop yield. For the majority of greenhouse crops, increasing CO2 levels to 1000 ppm (parts per million) results in an increase in photosynthesis by 50% over ambient CO2 levels.

scientific study was conducted to determine the effects of elevated CO2 concentration on photosynthesis with a perspective on root sugars. The study concluded that the production of carbohydrates was increased in plants grown under conditions with higher CO2 concentration due to an increase in photosynthesis. The plants also produced more sucrose (sugar) which regulates nutrient acquisition. This study provides insight about positive changes that could occur in plant roots grown in conditions with higher CO2 concentration.

The enzyme Rubisco, short for Ribulose-1,5 -bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, is an abundant enzyme that is involved in carbon fixation. Carbon fixation is a process by which CO2 in the atmosphere is converted during photosynthesis to form glucose.

Another study examined how Rubisco catalyzes photosynthentic reactions involving O2 and CO2 gases. The results determined that, at equal concentrations of the gases, Rubisco binds CO2 stronger than it does O2. This suggests that this enzyme can act as a reservoir for CO2 storage.

This finding is significant because it provides insights on how to reduce plant stress due to elevated temperatures. Increasing CO2 concentration can improve Rubisco efficiency. This in turn helps build resilience in crops and improve yield at higher temperatures.

 

How Much CO2 do Plants Need

co2_needs_480x480.jpg?v=1663969902

  • Average outdoor CO2 levels are normally around 400 ppm, which achieves normal outdoor plant growth.
  • Greenhouse and indoor plants grow better with CO2 concentration of at least two to three times that of outdoor levels (800 to 1200 ppm).
  • CO2 levels above 2000 ppm are toxic to plants, and most experts agree that 1500 ppm is the maximum CO2 level for maximum plant growth.
 

The Relationship Between CO2 and Ideal Photosynthesis Temperature

The rate of photosynthesis increases as temperature increases. The optimal temperature for photosynthesis, however, is dependent on CO2 concentration.

scientific study about CO2 examined the net photosynthesis rate of big tooth aspen leaves growing under two different CO2 concentrations at various temperatures.

  • At a low CO2 saturation of 325 ppm, optimal growing temperature was around 25 degrees Celsius.
  • At 1935 ppm of CO2, the net photosynthetic rate was boosted by 450% at an optimal growing temperature of 36 degrees Celsius.
  • It was also determined that the transition from life sustaining to life depleting conditions in this plant species occurs at around 39 degrees Celsius.

 

Conclusion

  • When supplementing CO2, plants grow bigger and faster, but need higher temperatures and humidity to really take advantage of the higher CO2 levels. 
  • Growers can greatly improve yields by leveraging this knowledge about how CO2, Temperature and VPD interact. To really see how these forces influence your garden, you need to have an accurate and reliable way to monitor their parameters. 
  • Pulse Pro monitors CO2, VPD, temperature, humidity, PAR and other key agricultural data types, and helps you keep track of and optimize the environment. It makes growing plants indoors safe, simple, and worry-free for growers of any size.

Now, given the wording and accusations levied in the indictment against President Trump, one of his attorneys, John Lauro, weighed on FOX News with Brett Baier:

 

“Mr. Trump did what was exactly Constitutionally precise and in order.  There was nothing illegal about that and he was required to take steps as President of the United States to ensure that election was held in a valid way.  All of that now is being criminalized.  The one thing I will say though:  in 2020, Mr. Trump’s campaign had a few weeks to gear up and present evidence, it was very difficult.  We now have the ability in this case to issue our own subpoenas, and we will re-litigate every single in the 2020 Election in the context of this litigation.  It gives President Trump an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power, since January 6th in a way that can be exercised in a Federal court.

Whoopsies!!!

 

The Earth REALLY is Spherical (geoidal) in shape.

 

Praise The LORD!!!

 

Sunrises AND Sunsets PROVE The Earth REALLY is Spherical (geoidal) in shape!!!

 

So, WHERE, pray tell, are the videos of the sun circling ABOVE the Earth???!!!

No, photo of Nixon with moon picture isn't proof the moon landing was a hoax | Fact check

The claim: Post implies image of lunar surface in Nixon's office proves moon landing was fake

An Aug. 1 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) shows President Richard Nixon sitting at a desk while holding a phone to his ear.

"Nixon talking to Apollo 11 on a landline phone with a picture taken from the moon in the background," reads text on the image. "Take your time."

Some commenters saw the post as evidence the moon landing was faked.

The post was liked more than 200 times in three days.

Our rating: Missing context

The implied claim here is wrong. The image shows Nixon speaking to the astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission. The framed photo on the wall behind him, though, was taken during the earlier Apollo 8 mission.

‘Earthrise' was taken during Apollo 8 mission

On July 20, 1969, Nixon spoke to Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin shortly after they became the first humans to set foot on the moon.

Nixon, who described the two-minute conversation as “the most historic phone call ever made from the White House,”made the call from a phone in the White House's Oval Office, which was linked to the astronauts by NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston.

A video from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library shows Nixon talking to the Apollo 11 astronauts, and it also shows a framed photo of the lunar surface hanging on a nearby wall. In a slightly different video of the same event from BBC America, Nixon is shown from a similar angle as the image in the Instagram post.

Fact check: False claim moon visible during daytime is proof of flat Earth

However, the photo on Nixon's wall of Earth rising over the moon's surface wasn't taken during that same Apollo 11 mission, as the post implies.

Instead, the photo, which became known as "Earthrise," was taken more than six months earlier on Dec. 24, 1968, by astronaut Bill Anders aboard Apollo 8, the first crewed spacecraft to circumnavigate the moon, according to NASA.

The picture isn't proof the moon landing was faked. Evidence that the NASA crewed moon landings occurred includes photos and videos captured by astronauts on the moon as well as modern satellite photos documenting past lunar activity.

While there had been differing accounts of who took the "Earthrise" photo, a visualization created with data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiterrevealed Anders took it.

The social media user who shared the post could not be reached for comment.

GENDER AGENDA: How can Neil Tyson call himself a man of “science” when he says that men can become women?

Neil-deGrasse-Tyson.jpg

The all-out fake-science guru Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks if a boy thinks he's a girl, then biologically he is one, and same goes for birds and alligators

To Tyson, cosmetics and biology are now one in the same. If a man puts on lipstick, he is biologically a woman, instantly, and provable by scientific research and galaxies of philosophy only Tyson could fully comprehend. Sure. Tune your internet to Gender.news for updates on Leftists pushing their perverted "gender on a spectrum" agenda on everyone else.

There is a bias here. The author of the article obviously doesn't life Tyson.

I would like to hear or see the video or audio he is referring to of him saying this. Some times he uses sarcasm and it would not come through in a repeated article.
