Lower Your Blood Pressure Quickly With This 1- to 2-Minute Trick

Imagine being able to make your blood pressure plunge as much as 30 points in just minutes with something many people consider a pollutant. As it turns out, this greatly misunderstood chemical compound may be more essential than oxygen for saving lives and even healing paralysis... ...The Green Agenda’s Flawed View of CO2

In closing, Peat also overturned key arguments of the green agenda by pointing out that during the Carboniferous period of Earth’s history, when plant and animal life was extraordinarily abundant, carbon dioxide levels were some 20 times higher than they are now, and temperatures were relatively stable.

"The expansion of vegetation will reflect infrared rays back into space," he said, "so it's sort of like the Earth has a thermostat that will regulate for huge changes in in CO2," he said.

Even more importantly, nothing thrives in low CO2 environments — not plants, not animals or insects and, as evidenced by everything discussed above, not humans. If anything, the world may actually need a bit more CO2, seeing how CO2-deficiency states are rampant, forests are dying and plants aren’t growing very well. As noted by Peat:

"All animals and even plants suffer from a lack of carbon dioxide. If you lower it, even plants won't do well ... In the 1940s, people experimented with poisoning to death rats or mice with 50% carbon dioxide, keeping them dead for an hour and then reviving them, and they had no brain damage. If they gave them extra CO2, they weren’t damaged by the absence of oxygen. So, for primitive organisms, it's more essential than oxygen."

The increasingly erratic weather systems we’re now experiencing likely have little to do with the CO2 content of our atmosphere, and far more to do with a combination of decades-long weather manipulation15 and natural solar cycles.16,17
