TRIGGERnometry · Ex-Climate Activist Speaks Out - Lucy Biggers · 13 May 2026 podcast

So like before you learned about climate, you learned about this.

And so because we've doubled that rate of CO2 in the atmosphere, plants are better at performing CO2.

They're growing, I mean, sorry, they're better at performing photosynthesis.

So they're growing bigger, they're growing faster.

I love the fact also that

Greenhouse growers will pump CO2 into their greenhouses up to 1500 ppm, parts per million, because the plants love it, versus we're at 420 ppm right now, parts per million, and that's how you measure all this stuff.

And so that's like almost three times as much CO2 is going into greenhouses to grow things like our vegetables and our houseplants and all these things.

So if CO2 were really such a dangerous boogeyman, why are greenhouse growers?

putting it into these greenhouses.

And that's the thing I think is really important.

And maybe I think why my voice is important in this conversation versus someone who's like the climate scientist who's been saying this 40 years is I know the misinformation that's in the mind of the activists or just the bystander who they think that they're choking on carbon dioxide.

Yes, yes.

People just think carbon dioxide is bad.

There's an association in their mind that it's a pollution.

And so just really attacking those really basic levels of misinformation, I think, is where I play that part because I don't think climate scientists necessarily would even know that they have to acknowledge that.

Because the misinformation, again, is so wrong.

It's so blatant.

And like I said, I was in the climate movement for years.

I didn't even know what percent of the atmosphere was CO2.

And I was in the climate movement for four years.
