Plants need carbon dioxide
CO2, otherwise known as carbon dioxide, is good for the earth. Climate change fanatics would have you believe that CO2 is somehow bad for our planet, but it is not. “Carbon pollution” was a term made up by environmental extremists, who have a political agenda to end CO2 emissions caused by combustion engines and the burning of carbon-based fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Not only is carbon dioxide good for us, it is also in short supply.
In 2021, when the Nebraska State Legislature voted to pass LB650, the Nebraska Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide Act, I was the only State Senator in the Unicameral Legislature who voted against the bill on Final Reading. I voted against the bill because it defied common-sense. Not only is it foolish to try to store carbon dioxide underground, we already knew at that time that plants need carbon dioxide to grow.
