Plants LOVE CO2.
Potheads pay TONS of money for gizmos that churn out extra CO2 for their pot plants; generators, but some white trash types I understand will use dry-ice, which dissolves into CO2.
PLANTS LOVE CO2, and we love water/food.
What? The planet has its own built in buffer systems? Wow, whodathunkit?
Th runaway CO2 scenario is so laughable it is absurd. If rising CO2 only lead to more rising CO2 as the warming alarmist hockey stick graph gang believes, then the earth could never have gone through cyclic ice ages. The planet would never substantially cool. It would only get hotter along its multi billion year course.
These jackasses cant handle the truth behind the historic data.
ROFL
wow... these morons FINALLY realized plants LIVE off CO2 !!!!!
LOL!
Remember, after GOD created the “garden” of Eden - the very next thing HE did was SET A HUMAN IN THE GARDEN .. a human which exhales CO2 .. in order for the plants to create oxygen - for the humans to breathe.
GOD’s great plan.

However the article seems to have bought in to the notion that droughts in the SouthWest are worse because of "Climate Change". This fails the common sense test. Local climates vary more than global averages. Even if we had a perfect record of a local climate's temp, we could not infer from that what whether the global average was going up or down or sideways or what. Conversely even if we had a perfect record of what the average temp of the planet was, but without a break down to the particulars of local climates, we would have no idea whether a local client will be hotter, colder, or what.
As it happens global temps have been going up independently of humans and outside of computer models we have had absolutely no statistically significant effect on them what-so-ever. If super intelligent space aliens saw the chart of our planet's temp history and were asked when the humans produced CO2, they would have no idea where. There is just no indication of it in the data. Whatever effect we have is completely drowned out by the forces that always change climate.
Of course global averages will be going down some time. They are pleasantly high in this inter-glacial period. We are lucky. There is likely not much we can do about it but enjoy the warmth when we have it. Happily these things happen on large time scales, so it will be a while before it gets cold.
Global Climate Change is not a relevant statistic to studying what is going on in a local climate. Its only relevance is that researchers have found that if they make the link in a paper that they get funding.
