@rachaelcargill Amazing work 🥂 Kind of amazing thing I just learned from some plant ecophysiologists… we don’t really know how the phloem works!? Like, we can now basically see the creation of our universe, but don’t know how/why/when plants send things down 🧐

@moorrhizal @rachaelcargill We are able to tag carbon compounds inside living mycorrhizal networks - the white streams are the carbon compounds.

This video shows real-time carbon flows inside a mycorrhizal network. Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with ~ 90% of terrestrial plants and have done so for 400 million years. These specialized fungi provide plants with nutrients and water in exchange for carbon-based exudates the plant produces through photosynthesis. Current estimates say that between 4 and 20 percent of all CO2 pulled in by plants ends up stored in mycorrhizal tissues. Considering plants need to build an entire above-ground structure, a root system, and produce flowers, fruits, and seeds, this is an astounding amount of carbon to allocate to mycorrhizal biomass. A recent review study estimates that global plant communities transfer 13.1 gigatons of CO2 to the underground mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi each year – equivalent to roughly 1/3 of annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. The amount of time the carbon is locked up in fungi’s mycelium remains unknown. Nonetheless, the influx of such a massive amount of carbon into the soil is a boon for soil ecology, nutrient cycling, and the health of water cycles. It is no wonder the formation of terrestrial ecosystems largely started with the mycorrhizal fungi/plant partnership. Video credit: @rachaelcargill

"If we halved the carbon dioxide content [in the atmosphere], we would have no life on Earth." Geologist Prof. Ian Plimer: "For about 80% of time [the atmosphere] was carbon dioxide rich... We had ice ages at the equator, and we had ice at sea level... yet the atmospheric carbon dioxide content was 20%." "And we're told that at 0.04%, if we increase it by a little bit, we're going to have runaway global warming. We didn't have it in the past, so why should we have it in the present?" "So we geologists see that this is a load of nonsense." "When we look over time, we see that carbon dioxide has decreased... We are at a dangerously low level. If we halved the carbon dioxide content, we would have no life on Earth."

Geologist Prof. Ian Plimer: "Carbon dioxide in the past has been much, much higher than now. We're currently at 0.04%. For most of geological time, it was about 20%." "And during that geological time when we had high carbon dioxide, we had three of the six great ice ages. So clearly carbon dioxide wasn't driving runaway global warming." "We are actually dangerously low. And if we continue to follow that long-term geological trend, we will find that plants will die." "We are currently at just over 0.04% carbon dioxide. That's not enough for plants to thrive. They like about two or three times that amount."

Geologist Prof. Ian Plimer thoroughly refutes the theory that carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming. "If I have a theory of climate change that humans drive global warming, that has to be in accord with everything that's validated from the past." "It isn't... We have had six major ice ages on planet Earth. Six of the six started when there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now." "For four of those ice ages, it was up to 20% carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, compared with 0.04% now." "So carbon dioxide clearly cannot drive warming."

Mark Carney said we didn't use steel so it was okay to carbon tax it more. Now he says we need steel and there's "value to the industrial carbon tax." Mark Carney's Liberal carbon tax on steel will send jobs and investment out of Canada. Only Conservatives will axe the Liberal carbon tax on steel to bring home jobs & investment to 🇨🇦.

When Trudeau designed the rebate program, he excluded all the indirect costs of the Carbon Tax. So when a grocer raises prices to cover the business cost of the carbon tax, you pay that but get no rebate for it. When an item becomes more expensive, because the trucker has to charge more to cover his carbon tax, you pay for it but get no rebate for it. Trudeau's own budget watchdog confirmed that the majority of households pay far more in the carbon tax then they receive back in the rebate. #TrudeauMustGo #Pierre4PM #AxeTheTax #cdnpoli

Australian geologist, Professor Ian Plimer: "No one has yet shown that human emissions of carbon dioxide drive global warming, and if they did, they'd also have to show that the natural emissions—and that's 97% of the total—don't drive global warming." "Then I look back in time through my geological eyes, and look at times in the past when we have very high carbon dioxide contents of the atmosphere, up to hundreds of times higher than now, and we see that we didn't have runaway global warming… But what we did have is six major ice ages, and there is no correlation over geological time between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and temperature."

"The move by Carney to get rid of the visible part of the carbon tax is a bit deceiving because we are still dealing with, in my view, the worst part of the carbon tax for the food industry." Scrap ALL carbon taxes!

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer, demolishes the human-induced "global boiling" narrative, in two and a half minutes: "Six out of the six ice ages started when we had far more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now. So how can carbon dioxide drive global warming?" "We’re being asked to believe that traces of an emission of a trace gas into the atmosphere will change a whole planetary system, and this is contrary to everything we know from the past."
