And 90 years later here we still are…not a pollutant.
I’m sure Steve missed the retraction published in subsequent issues.
“According to the inventor’s opinion” that appeared in American Scientific. Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks for this! I posted a tidier copy of the article here:

The experiments 91 years ago (when atmospheric CO2 levels averaged 0.03%) found that CO2 from blast furnace exhaust could be used to increase various crop yields by from 100% to 300%. Crops tested included tomatoes, spinach, castor oil plants, potatoes, lupines, and barley.
Correction: 95 years ago, not 91 years ago.
I found the Nov. 27, 1920 issue of Scientific American (digitized by Google) upon which this story was based, and put a copy on my web site, here:

This photograph of potatoes is one of the illustrations from that article:

Wait till when they learn that the other byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion is water. I can’t wait to have discussions with the same idiots who currently claim that CO2 levels under 5000ppm count as pollution.
Just call it Di hydrogen Monoxide
The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) got a bunch to sign the petition at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Mexico in 2010

I did a bit of cutting and pasting, to fit that entire Scientific American article onto one 8.5×11 page:

Here’s another article based on the SciAm article. This one was in the 1-1-2021 issue of The Literary Digest by Funk & Wagnalls:

Oops… 1921, not 2021
