VP Debate Missed Opportunity: Carbon Is Life-Giving, Not Poisonous

While JD Vance’s vice presidential debate performance overall was stellar, one point where he failed to call out blatant Democrat lies was on the topic of carbon emissions. Do not let CBS moderators and Democrat politicians fool you: carbon is a necessary ingredient for life, it is not a destructive force.

The moderators ridiculously framed the devastating Hurricane Helene (occurring in Hurricane Alley during hurricane season) as tied to climate change, as usual, co-opting people’s real suffering for ideological propaganda. Both candidates were then pressed to respond on whether or not they supported climate action. The moderators hurled Donald Trump’s previous comment on unscientific climate alarmism as a “hoax” at Vance, but he did not directly affirm Trump’s accurate assessment. 

Vance focused on the need to increase domestic U.S. manufacturing to ensure clean manufacturing, a very important point to be sure, since alleged “green” energy depends on child labor and extremely toxic manufacture in foreign countries, including U.S.-hating China. But this good point is one that Vance could and should have accompanied with a few simple, short, but devastating facts undermining climate alarmism, like the fact that not a single climate alarmist prediction has been accurate in well over 50 years.

“Net zero” carbon emissions is an impossible goal, nor should we want to achieve it. Carbon is an absolutely essential element to all living things, so reducing carbon would harm not only plants (including food crops) and animals but also humans. Anyone who wants to cut carbon drastically is literally pushing a depopulation agenda.

NASA states, “Carbon is an essential building block for life.” LibreTexts affirms, “Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe and is the building block of life on earth. On earth, carbon circulates through the land, ocean, and atmosphere, creating what is known as the Carbon Cycle.”

There is no climate crisis, and as of early 2023, there had actually been fewer major hurricanes in recent years rather than more. Hurricanes tend to be cyclical, data shows, meaning that in some time periods, there are more hurricanes than at other time periods. “Climate change” does not cause or intensify hurricanes. 

Climate changes — that’s what it does. But carbon emissions are not causing dangerous global warming or more hurricanes. It is shameful that Democrats are using the tragedy of Hurricane Helene to make unscientific and purely ideological points. Like the carbon propaganda, the hurricane propaganda is not based on objective scientific data or on reality.

Indeed, increased carbon is beneficial for humans and especially for plants, including food crops. Just as warming is beneficial for ecosystems, more carbon helps ecosystems thrive. This is the reality that climate propagandists, especially politicians who use climate change as an excuse for increasing government power and decreasing individual liberty and property, don’t want you to know about.

One fact Vance did point out which needs to be hammered over and over is that Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and their ilk do not believe their own climate propaganda. Vance said it in the context of Democrats wanting manufacturing to happen in major polluter nations like China rather than the U.S., but it is also worth noting that these elites fly private jets, own multiple massive houses (including beachfront mansions) and then lecture us about carbon footprints, warming oceans, carbon emissions, and fossil fuels. Give me a break.

To call these liars hypocritical is a massive understatement. But if Walz and Harris take office, expect to see America’s energy and economy completely destroyed in the name of saving the planet.
