UKIP MEP claims decarbonising Europe will mean less carbon dioxide for plants!

One of the commenters to this piece rightly points out that plants grow by metabolising the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus, plants grow better in a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. That still doesn’t make Agnew any less stupid for suggesting that the reduction of carbon emissions will kill off Europe’s plants. These are the people, who just weren’t paying attention in science class.

Pride's Purge

(not satire – it’s the UKIP!)

When I first saw this video of UKIP’s agriculture spokesman Stuart Agnew MEP claiming that decarbonisation will deprive plants of carbon dioxide – I honestly thought it was a spoof.

But no – it’s the UKIP.

Hard to know where to start when it comes to explaining just how ignorant these comments are.

So better just let you see for yourself:

For me, the most disturbing thing is that the video was posted by the UKIP itself.

Presumably they must be actually really very proud of their stupidity.
