My theory is that companies that manufacture soil amendments are the prime mover behind all of the room and gloom of climate change, specifically the need to reduce atmospheric carbon.
Plants used to be heavier and squatter, and usable material would have been greater, back when the atmosphere was closer to 2000ppm CO2. That is, realistically, and actually, plants get all of their food from the air, and soil amendments make it easier for the plants to grow tall/wide enough to get more usable sun and surface area to get their food out of the air.
Ask anyone who's ever tried CO2 with plants what happens to their fertilizer budget. It goes down, because plants are carbohydrate factories, and more carbon means more carbohydrates.
I'm off in the weeds, but cui Bono is something I ask of nearly everything and other than the carbon credit companies and all the people employed therein, who benefits from less CO2 financially? The Bayer/Monsanto and Dow of the world. Not me or you, not the oil companies, not a Rockefeller or whoever.
