    Supplementing CO2 is important for indoor growers. CO2 can be the most limiting factor when it comes to plant growth. It is good to know how to measure and understand if you have a CO2 problem. It is also an inexpensive method of increasing your crop production.

      So as you see C02 is not a destructor of the planet, its an essential building block of LIFE. Remember this the next time someone try's to sell you the hoax of man made climate change. C02 makes up a fraction of the amount of gases in the atmosphere. Water vapor is the 1# gas has an effect on temps in warmer climates, the "Feels Like" temp based on humidity levels. The more you try to lower the carbon footprint, which is probably impossible to control to any significant degree anyway, the less GREENERY you have on earth. This fact is ironic considering how they use to term "Green Energy" today as if less carbon equals more green. The way its used is in complete contradiction of reality.

    The primary paper that is often used in support of the notion of “97% consensus” was written by John Cook. The paper claims to have “reviewed” abstracts from 11,944 peer-reviewed papers related to climate change or global warming, published over the 21 years 1991 - 2011, to assess the extent to which they supported the “consensus view” on climate change.
    The paper asserted that 97% of the papers the reviewers examined had explicitly endorsed the opinion that humans are causing the majority of the warming of the last 150 years. Included in the 97% “consensus” were any papers that asserted that some warming is occurring due to increasing greenhouse gases, but not necessarily the majority of the warming. They cast a wide net that would include nearly all skeptics of catastrophic man-made global warming.
    A paper written by Legates et al (2015) reviewed the same papers and found that 7,930 of them took no position at all on the subject and were excluded from the count on that ground. If we simply add back all of the papers reviewed, the 97% claimed by Cook and his co-authors falls to 32.6%.
    The review found that only 0.3% of the 11,944 abstracts endorsed man-made global warming as they defined it. Remarkably, they found that Cook and his assistants had themselves marked only 64 papers - or 0.5% of the 11,944 they said they had reviewed - as explicitly stating that recent warming was mostly man-made.

    In the discussion about greenhouse gases, organizations supporting man-made harmful warming, and their allies in the media focus solely on man-made gases as the main agents of greenhouse warming. They do not mention the most significant greenhouse gas of all-water vapor.
    For example, both the EPA and National Geographic climate-change pages show no contribution from water vapor. The main driver of greenhouse warming - water vapor - is completely ignored.
    Downplaying or disregarding water vapor, or assigning too large a magnitude to feedbacks such as the water-vapor feedback that is thought to amplify the direct warming from CO₂, serves to overemphasize Man’s contribution to greenhouse warming
