Climate Change: f the most common misconceptions about Climate Change

CO2 ISN'T THE PROBLEM, ITS METHANE

When it comes to greenhouse gases, carbonoxide attracts the most attention. CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been rising since the industrial revolution, but its not the only gas responsible for global warming, Methane is 30-times better at trapping heat.

This little molecule is released when organic materials break down. it enters the atmosphere during the production and transport of fossil fuels; it leaks out as the remain of plants and animals decay; and livestock like pigs ans cows release it on daily basis. But its not the main reason for global warming. there's far more CO2 in the atmosphere and far more of it is being produced. In the US in 2014, it made up 82 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions, while methane accounted for just 11 per cent. it also hangs around for hundreds, or even thousands of years, unlike methane

"MORE CO2 IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE PLANTS NEED IT"

Carbon dioxide is a key ingredient of photosynthesis. Plants combine it with water under the power of sunlight to create sugars, which , in turn, indirectly provide energy for pretty much everyliving  thing on the planet. Without carbon dioxide, we wouldn't be here.

Adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere does boost plant growth, but in the context of climate change it's not that simple. Standford University performed a three year experiment to test what would happen to plant 100 years from now if our planet keeps changing as predicted.
They double the carbon dioxide , raised the temperature by one degree, increased rainfall and increased soil nitrogen ( an effect of fossil fuel burning). Under these combined conditions plant growth stalled.
