Organic means compost. Compost makes methane and CO2. Organic is good, IMO, but if you believe the fiction of scary greenhouse gasses, organic makes thing worse not better.

Some things produce CO2, some things produce more. That seems to be your conceptual blockage.

So are you saying that 10-10-10 produces CO2? Don't get me wrong, I'm in my 50s and I have always kept a compost heap and never put a chemical in the soil or on a plant. But you're talking nonsense. Decomposing organic matter produces methane and CO2. The alternative is chemical fertilizer, which does not. Please tell me your well-reasoned recommendation. What is this farming thing you vaguely reference which "produces more" CO2?

The peer-reviewed scientific articles linked to in that article will give you reliable background information. There's no need for me to waste my time typing at you when you can read them yourself.

Original title is clickbait.

If we ever get serious about reducing climate pollution, widespread organic farming would also be accompanied by dietary changes to reduce animal consumption, which decreases required land.
