On November 2, Alberta's ruling United Conservative Party (UCP) approved a resolution stating, in part:
“CO2 is a nutrient foundational for all life on Earth...The earth needs more CO2 to support life and to increase plant yields, both of which contribute to the Health and Prosperity [sic] of all Albertans.”
A UCP member speaking in favor of the resolution stated:
"According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide.”
The resolution recommended that the Government of Alberta should:
- Abandon Net Zero targets
-
Remove the designation of CO2 as a pollutant
-
Recognize that CO2 is a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth
As you can imagine, this did not sit well with the climate alarmist community. DeSmog Blog called us "the notorious CO2 Coalition." Another stated:
"The CO2 Coalition, an organization that promotes the view of carbon dioxide as beneficial, appears to have influenced Resolution 12. During the UCP’s annual general meeting, a member advocating for the resolution cited the CO2 Coalition, stating that 'higher CO₂ levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide.' This reference suggests that the CO2 Coalition’s materials and messaging contributed to shaping the arguments and rationale behind the UCP’s decision to reclassify CO₂ and abandon net-zero emission targets."
