awferchrissakes ... there was enough CO2 in the atmosphere centuries ago for the plants to take all they want. The only good thing about this report is that they're crying wolf enough for it to be a joke.

One word: Roundup

(sigh) I was hoping, after the Ad Hoc Committee essentially discredited the Hockey Stick graph and its associated "research", that I could retire my tinfoil hat.

Guess not.

I'll believe that Global Warming® is real when liberals start selling their beach-front property.

Good point. Maybe all the Malibu liberals can be persuaded to act on their "beliefs", sell their beach houses for a song. We can buy them up, flip them and retire wealthy. Get the libs off the beach, make money and retire. Sounds like win, win, win to me.

In the very early 60's there were a lot of vines in the woods in our area in upstate New York. Near our house there was a place where kids would swing on them like Tarzan. It always seemed to me that the number of vines decreased over the years and I never saw such large vines around there again.

Hey our crops are growing great,so if you have any more CO2 please send it our way.

"Cow's Itch"

LOL, that's the first time I've seen that name in a long time. A certain mail order nursery is selling cow itch and calling it a "Hummingbird Vine." Somebody's in for a big surprise in a few years, after they plant that crap.

NO. Global warming is merely observable. The argument is over the anthropogenic contribution and its effects on subsequent global temperature trends. The globe has warmed and the globe has cooled and it will again.

Beware of consensus, they may be idiots. Tagline...

Certainly 'cellulosic ethanol.' But the Hag Hillery has enough cellulite to fuel the world.

re: But then, why do these scientists always couch their findings with with such shaky qualifiers such as "suggests," "at least," and "partially"? )))

At least they're that honest--you hould see the way evolutionists write their claims of "creating new species" without so much as a "hopefully".

[Hot Tabasco]

Vines have choked gardens, ruined brickwork

Sounds more like the fault of a lazy homeowner than global warming........

Forget it.... U just don't see the sense of humor in all of it....

Poison ivy is attempting to take over my yard. It is coming up everywhere. In the grass. in the mulched areas. within other plants and even in gutters.

I don't blame CO2, I blame birdsh#t.

The birds spread the evil seed

Specifically, what is the product? I need some. The stuff I have is only marginally effective.

[Restorer]

Cee Oh Two isn't a pollutant. It is an essential plant nutrient!

So is dihydrogen monoxide. Yet it causes many thousands of deaths every year.

[null and void]

Good point.
