Have people noticed that nowadays when it is said that an organization such as a business or a branch or department of government is “going green” it means that it is taking steps to reduce its emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere? The environmental movement has brought Orwell to science. An atmosphere richer in CO2 will undoubtedly bring about a greener earth. Not only is CO2 an airborne fertilizer that promotes more lush vegetation but it also allows plants to utilize water more efficiently. This is, or at least used to be, grammar school science. And yet, the enviros have some how turned the science on its head. My guess, if you asked most adults and school kids if more CO2 in the atmosphere would bring about a greener planet, they would say no. But science tells us that if we truly want to “go green”  we should increase our CO2 emissions not decrease them.
