I’ll have to ask the next eco-commissar how their climate-change model accounted for this.
The bottom line is that plants need to open their pores to get CO2, but they lose moisture through those pores at the same time. With more CO2, they need to open them less, lose less moisture, so uptake less moisture from the ground. In turn this means the ground can support more plants over a given area.
While this is most obvious in deserts, it wetter grounds it means that soil can now support different flora, which uses more water, and is more resistant to root rots that live in wet soil.
It also means expanding jungles and wetlands.
Hurricanes and Tornadoes are real?! I thought that was only in Sci-Fi movies or something... O.O
“Greenhouse growers have known of the effects of higher co2 levels.”
When I had a nursery in Calif. we read where many Greenhouse growers were buying and discharging CO2 into the houses for greater plant growth.
It works! More co2 in the atmosphere will continue to feed people and expand the range of food crops. Gimme a slice of co2!
wait a minute
CO2 helps make the planet, and more of it, “greener” and yet the anti-CO2 religion takes the name of a “green” movement, comfiscating the color green into everything attached to “less CO2”
irrational or what?

AND the number of polar bears is UP...
Years ago an experiment was done with a real greenhouse (not fancy 'mathematical modelling' - turned out more CO2 made things grow - but especially weeds. Might be interesting.
