technically it is destroying money due to the way loans are treated on bank balance sheets.
a loan is an asset to a bank and a liability to a borrower.
forgiving a loan destroys it as an asset (money-like) and causes deflation from a money supply standpoint even if it does increase the buying potential of a borrower.
Since all federal student loans are still in payback pauses for covid this will have negligible effects
The primary limiting factor on plant growth is not generally CO2. You can know that by observing that CO2 is not really what fertilizers concern themselves with.
Water, nitrogen, and micronutrients, tend to be the big issues. Existing plants deal fairly well with around 200~250ppm CO2 because that's been the concentration for the last 20 million years.
For individual ecosystems or individual plants, yes, the limiting factor is nitrogen fixing in the soil. For the global biosphere however, the limiting factor to the creation of biomass (via photosynthesis) is carbon dioxide availability.
So is water. Trees simply do not grow if they not have water to generate new bark. We've had severe (for German standards) droughts the last few years here in Germany. All in all, the climate forecast for the upcoming years is currently: Less rain in the summer and more rain in the winter, which is also bad [1].
It's possible that higher CO2 levels are going to be great for some plants, however higher temperatures (with all the resulting consequences) will definitely be terrible for humans.
I was of the understanding oceanic alge were much more responsible for oxygenation than any form flora. Not to down play the importance of trees of course.
compulsory education is hardly an incentive to child bearing. if anything those who have kids wish to decide what is best for kids without state compulsions
A lot of places have bizarre over-parenting practices that add social pressures on anyone who has children. I would have been much more inclined to have children in a place that either doesn't freak out about free range children like when I grew up or has a set public system over one that makes you feel guilty for not being bio enough, not choosing the right
private schools, not getting private tutors, etc, etc.
It is interesting to watch parents burn out and get divorced so their children can have a better life than the one social pressures dictate.
