Fear propaganda. Everyone&#x27;s concerned about CO2 ppm, as if we&#x27;re approaching some dangerous unknown territory of high CO2. But CO2 ppm has been much higher than it is today for most of Earth&#x27;s history. People are terrified about going from 300 to 400 when not that long ago, it was 1000. It&#x27;s indisputable that CO2 ppm of 400 is closer to a dangerous <i>low</i> than a dangerous high; plant respiration ceases around, what, 150? That would mean the extinction of most life on Earth, right?<p>Climate catastrophism is a modern doomsday cult that is able to keep operating because the failed predictions are forgotten by the time they&#x27;re proven false.
