The fruitful results of increasing CO2

Nice blog entry on AT about something posted here on FR. Life during the Modern Warm Period is nice compared to the cooling periods. What's to hate about higher crop yields, more predictable rain patterns, and less deaths by plague? I'd much rather live during one of the centuries long warming periods than the centuries long cooling periods in between.

...okay.

Good point. That does sound like a MTV handle. VJ Jay is gonna play us some tunes... LOL

There is no such thing as manmade climate change, it is a fraud by the Worldwide Communist Party.

The economic downside is a more rapid accrual of combustible fuels in forests and brush fields we MUST learn how to manage.

Well said. Life on Earth is all about “Have dominion over it” as in “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth and have dominion over it”.

If Canada and Siberia get warmer, their growing seasons for crops that can handle the less sunlight half the year will increase. Some temperate areas further south will turn desert dry or tropical wet.

Example, the Colorado River basin is turning dry.

Currently most of civilization is not replenishing. Are the Moslems the only ones who are replenishing?

Russians, Chinese, Hindus, Christians, aetheists are not replenishing. That is the future.

There is a lot more to Genesis 1:28. It's actually a private property statement. "Have dominion" derives from a root originating with shepherds establishing boundaries by walking a line into the grass. One cannot be held accountable before G_d for the whole earth, just our piece of it. Yet the animals described are all mobile! This of course means we must work things out with our neighbors.

Hence the rest of the Torah. :-)

That's our fault... or should I finger the BLM? How much moisture is carried across a landscape is all about vegetation management, as is its infra red albedo. One can use increased solar energy and CO2 to convert incoming energy to sugars, or reflect it back into space from a mineral surface.

In the ancient past CO2 reached as high as 7,000ppm. In 1850, when the Little Ice Age ended, the CO2 level was only 285.2ppm. When you get to 150ppm and below ALL LIFE GOES EXTINCT on the planet. Yes, we came within 135ppm of all life ending on Earth as we know it. CO2 is a life-giving gas. The plants on land need it as well as the phyto-plankton in our oceans.

Trump needs to get the EPA to stop classifying CO2 as a pollutant (since 2013) and we need to start creating more of it!

HOW DARE YOU??!!!

If the enviroweenees were really concerned about CO2 they would call for the banning of all carbonated soft drinks.

ROFLMAO!

When I studied botany, there were two pathways for photosynthesis. One was more energy intensive to capture the needed co2. The other was used when you might pump a greenhouse full of co2 to stim growth.

Almost all plants are using the energy intensive pathways because our co2 levels are so low.

I love that one
