Imagine a world where the air hums with vitality, where everywhere you look you witness Earth’s abundance. In this hypothetical realm, carbon dioxide levels have risen to 1000 parts per million, not as a harbinger of catastrophe, but as the lifeblood pulsing through the veins of our planet.

Far from the dire warnings endlessly spewed by the climate cult, this is a story of renewal, where CO2, the marvellous gas of life, fuels a greener, more prosperous Earth. It’s a place where the  climate cult – those fervent advocates of net zero who once preached austerity and sacrifice – have faded into irrelevance, their alarmist cries drowned out by the symphony of thriving nature and human ingenuity. Let’s stroll through this vibrant landscape, shall we?

Picture the greenery first, because that’s where the magic truly begins. With CO2 at 1000 ppm, plants aren’t just surviving; they’re exploding with vigour. Forests stretch taller and denser, their leaves a deeper, more luscious green, soaking up the sun with unprecedented efficiency. Crops like tomatoes yield up to 80 per cent more, their fruits plump and bursting with flavour, while staple grains and vegetables grow faster and stronger, demanding less water in the process.

It’s as if Mother Nature herself has turned up the dial on photosynthesis, that miraculous process where CO2 is the star ingredient, converting sunlight into the energy that sustains all life. In greenhouses today, growers already supplement CO2 to 1000 ppm for optimal results, boosting yields by 40 to 100 per cent for many species.

Extend that to the wild outdoors, and deserts bloom, arid lands transform into fertile oases, and biodiversity flourishes. Insects buzz in greater numbers, birds sing sweeter songs, and herbivores graze on endless pastures, a chain reaction of life amplified by the very gas we’ve been taught to fear.

And let’s not forget the warmth. In this world, temperatures have nudged up a bit, even if only slightly, and oh, what a blessing that is! No more brutal winters claiming lives with their icy grip; instead, milder seasons extend growing periods, allowing farmers to harvest multiple crops where once there was only one.

Vast swathes of northern lands, previously locked in permafrost, now welcome cultivation, opening up thousands of square kilometres for agriculture and settlement.

Think of the human joy in that, families picnicking in blooming meadows that were once barren tundras, children playing barefoot longer into the autumn evenings. A warmer climate means lower heating bills, easier travel without snow-clogged roads, and a general easing of life’s harsher edges.

It’s not about scorching heat; it’s about a cosy embrace that nurtures life, from polar bears adapting to new habitats to coral reefs thriving in balanced ecosystems. After all, Earth has known warmer epochs in its history, teeming with life far more diverse than today, why should we dread a return to such fertility?

Now, cast your mind to how we got here. The climate cult narrative of man-made climate doom, with its endless predictions of apocalypse, never quite held water when scrutinised. Models exaggerated threats, consensus claims were inflated, and the idea that human CO2 emissions alone drive catastrophic change was always more political than scientific.

People began to see through it, the overblown crisis language, the selective data, the way natural cycles like solar activity were downplayed.

The climate cult, with their zeal for net zero, pushed policies that promised lower living standards: higher energy costs, restricted travel, even taxes on meat and dairy that hit the poorest hardest.

But as evidence mounted of CO2’s benefits – greening the planet, enhancing crop resilience – the tide turned. Folks realised that chasing net zero was like starving a garden of fertiliser; it stifled growth, innovation, and joy. Those restrictive edicts crumbled, replaced by a celebration of abundance. No more guilt over driving to see loved ones or enjoying a hearty Sunday roast – humanity embraced progress without the shackles.

Take your average farmer from the UK. In our real world, he’s battled erratic weather and rising costs from green mandates. But in this hypothetical paradise? His fields burst with wheat and veg, yields doubled thanks to the CO2 boost, and warmer springs mean he plants earlier, harvests later. “It’s like the land’s come alive again,” he’d say, wiping sweat from his brow with a grin, as his grandkids romp through orchards heavy with fruit. Families like his thrive: food is plentiful and cheap, malnutrition a relic of the past, and communities bond over bountiful markets. Economies boom as agriculture surges, energy remains affordable without forced transitions, and useless wind turbines, and innovation in biotech and sustainable farming skyrockets. 

Living standards soar, better homes, more leisure time, holidays in newly verdant spots. It’s a world where humanity prospers not in spite of nature, but in harmony with it, recognising CO2 as the gift it truly is.In the end, this isn’t just a daydream; it’s a reminder of what’s possible when we shed fear and embrace truth. A warmer, CO2-rich Earth isn’t doom, it’s dawn. Life flourishes, humanity rises, and the future gleams with promise. Wouldn’t you love to wake up there?

You can help achieve this wonderful reality, educate yourself, your friends, your family and the world on the truth about CO2. See the latest report from the Secretary of Energy in the USA and the team of scientists who wrote about the positive impacts of more CO2 and warming.
