(Natural News)—In an era dominated by climate alarmism and the relentless push for Net Zero policies, a growing body of scientific evidence is challenging the narrative that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a planetary villain. Peer-reviewed studies and respected scientists are now revealing that CO2 is not only harmless but actually beneficial to the Earth, driving a global greening phenomenon that is feeding the world and restoring biodiversity. Yet, this groundbreaking research is being systematically ignored by the mainstream media, which remains wedded to a politically motivated climate agenda.
Recent studies published by the CO2 Coalition and other independent scientific groups have shown that rising CO2 levels are not the existential threat they’ve been made out to be. In fact, the atmosphere is already “saturated” with CO2, meaning additional emissions have a negligible impact on global temperatures. This saturation effect, long argued by climate skeptics, explains why historical CO2 levels—10 to 15 times higher than today—did not lead to runaway warming. Instead, CO2 is proving to be a boon for plant life, driving a “green revolution” that is increasing agricultural yields and greening vast swaths of the planet.
One of the most compelling findings comes from a team of Taiwanese scientists led by Professor Peng-Sheng Wei. Their research, published in a recent paper, found that increasing CO2 levels from 100 to 400 parts per million (ppm) resulted in a mere 0.3°C rise in ground temperature – a figure so small it falls within the margin of error. Even more striking, the study found no additional warming as CO2 levels rose further to 400 ppm. This directly contradicts the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) claim that doubling CO2 levels will lead to a catastrophic 3°C temperature increase.
Similarly, Austrian scientists have concluded that doubling CO2 to 800 ppm would result in at most 0.5°C of warming, with no increase in infrared absorption at key wavelengths. These findings, along with those of Polish and Canadian researchers, suggest that the climate sensitivity to CO2 has been grossly overstated. Dr. Jan Kubicki and his team argue that above 400 ppm, CO2 “can no longer cause any increase in temperature,” while Professor Yi Huang of McGill University notes that CO2 absorption is already saturated, rendering additional emissions largely irrelevant to warming.
Carbon dioxide is essential to life on Earth
But the benefits of CO2 extend far beyond its minimal impact on temperature. The gas is a vital nutrient for plant life, driving photosynthesis and fostering growth. According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels are enhancing global vegetation, with satellite data showing a 20-30% increase in greening between 1982 and 2012 in regions like India, West Australia, and the Sahel. This greening effect has accelerated in recent decades, with CO2 identified as the dominant driver.
The agricultural implications are profound. Studies by Charles Taylor and Wolfram Schlenker reveal that a 1 ppm increase in CO2 boosts crop yields by 0.4% for corn, 0.6% for soybeans, and 1% for wheat. This “fertilization effect” is helping to feed a growing global population, countering the Malthusian predictions of food scarcity that have long haunted environmental discourse.
The late physicist Freeman Dyson, a towering figure in 20th-century science, was among the first to recognize the benefits of CO2. In a 2015 interview, Dyson explained that the Earth is “growing greener” due to rising CO2 levels, which are increasing agricultural yields, expanding forests, and enhancing biodiversity. He argued that these positive effects are “more important and more certain than the effects on climate.” Dyson also criticized climate models as unreliable tools for predicting future warming, noting that they fail to account for the complex, non-linear dynamics of the atmosphere.
Despite this mounting evidence, the mainstream media and political elites continue to push the Net Zero agenda, ignoring the science that undermines their narrative. The CO2 Coalition, an educational foundation dedicated to promoting the facts about CO2, has been at the forefront of this effort, highlighting the gas’s vital role in the environment. Their work, supported by distinguished scientists like Professor William Happer and Nobel laureate Dr. John Clauser, underscores the importance of CO2 in sustaining life on Earth.
The truth is clear: CO2 is not a pollutant but a life-giving gas that is making the planet greener, more productive, and more resilient. The climate alarmism that has dominated public discourse for decades is built on shaky scientific foundations and serves primarily to advance a political agenda. As the evidence continues to mount, it’s time to reject the fearmongering and embrace the reality that CO2 is good for the planet—and good for us.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
