HOW CO2 STARVATION CAUSED THE GREATEST MASS EXTINCTION

Jim Steele, Russ Babcock, Thorpe Watson

July 2023, March 2024

The following email by Russ Babcock was sent to our Federal MP, Richard Cannings, to encourage him to view the half-hour video and, consequently, to acknowledge the importance of carbon dioxide ("CO2") in sustaining life on the planet and to reject the West's outrageous war on CO2 and fossil fuels.

Please forward the link to this video, especially to politicians at all levels of government, including members of school boards.

RUSS BABCOCK'S EMAIL TO OUR FEDERAL MP, RICHARD CANNINGS (sowkndp@gmail.com)

Good morning Mr. Cannings,

Given your academic and work history as a biologist, I thought you would find this presentation as interesting as I did. I am a long retired biochemist, and this video awakened the near extinct biologist in me (a pun as you will appreciate when you watch the video).

You are my MP, and I know your position on the subject of AGW (near the opposite of mine btw) , but I'm hoping that you can put aside the politics for now, and watch the video with a scientifically-objective critical eye. I would really appreciate hearing of any impact that this presentation might have on you. I have long been promoting the idea that any attempt to fund permanent sequestration of CO2 on a "commercial" scale should be deemed illegal, somehow on an international basis.

Would you mind taking the time to watch the linked video and comment on it for me and Thorpe Watson (cc'd)?

Many thanks. Enjoy the presentation.
