Massive Greenhouse Gas Impication
Higher Carbon Dioxide levels will likely shrink the size of insects. The decrease in insect vitality will lead to healthier plants producing greater levels of Oxygen. The world should see higher agricultural yields while requiring reduced levels of pesticides. - From The Unexplored Upside of Global Warming!

Carbon dioxide is an essential plant nutrient...

They’ve obviously never been to Florida - I don’t care what they call them, they are giant cockroaches!!!!

A higher concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere let dragonflies sometimes grow to the size of hawks, and some millipede-like bugs reached some six feet (two meters) in length, a new study suggests. (Related: "Dragonflies Migrate Like Birds, Study Says" [May 10, 2006].)

Actually the largest of the pre-historic insects was the sea scorpion which reached about eight feet in length. Quite a terrible thing to see I would thing but a six foot dragon fly wouldn't make me jump for joy either!

How does excess oxygen in the air affect carbon-14 readings? hmmm . . .

So if higher levels of O2 lets bugs grow larger, since bugs have a relative short reproduction cycle how hard would it be to see it this theory is actually true.

Sweeet!
Now my plan for success will truly succeed.
Next year, when the praying mantids are hatching, I’ll get some O2 tanks.
Chain the six-foot monsters to my conservative signs in my yard to guard ‘em while I’m at work.

(Might take care of the stray cat issues in the neighborhood as well....)
