Seven confirmed deaths due to this. They are lucky this didn't happen during their hot summer.
Our leaders pushing for Net Zero are very educated, and can think at a high level of abstraction. So high that they abstract out reality. Interesting to see this reality check at a national level.
You mention, paraphrasing, "CO2 is plant food". What do you think the ideal amount of CO2 in the atmosphere should be? Right now, I understand the level is 430 parts per million. We know there can be too much "Lake Nyos, located in Cameroon, is a volcanic lake known for a tragic gas emission event that occurred on August 21, 1986. During this incident, a large release of carbon dioxide resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,700 people and 8,000 livestock, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters attributed to volcanic gas." https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/environmental-sciences/african-lake-emits-toxic-gas . Some claim the ideal level should be 350ppm, partly because that was the level before the industrial revolution. https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/what-ideal-level-carbon-dioxide-atmosphere-human-life . What do you think the ideal level should be? 500ppm? 1500ppm?....
David and Robert are great and I can confirm as someone who works in the industry you did a great job at explaining!

Communist plot? No evidence, but it passes the smell test! In other words, yep.
Wow, what a great video. Illuminating (no pun intended) and motivating. Thank you.
