ALT Fact Brief #18: Q: Do volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans? A: NO - Volcanoes release CO2, but the amount is minimal compared to human-caused emissions. [..] https://sks.to/gfb-volcano
ALT Screenshot of fact brief #17 Q: Is more CO2 a good thing because itās plant food? A: NO - While CO2 is necessary for plant growth, the negative impacts of climate change, driven by man-made CO2 emissions, far outweigh short-term productivity gains. [..] Full text: https://sks.to/gfb-plant

ALT Screenshots of two fact briefs: Question 1: Is recent global warming part of a natural cycle? Answer: NO - While natural cycles explain some historical periods of climate change, the current one is due to human activity. [...] Question 2: Does manmade CO2 have any detectable fingerprint? Answer: YES - Atmospheric chemistry shows that humans are driving the recent CO2 increase. [...]
