Isn't this rich. Now we are responsible for jungle vines growing too much in the Amazon. And what's more bizzar is that now a thriving Amazon is bad for the environment. These enviro-nazies can't even keep their story straight. These bozos don't even deserve to be called scientists.

Word on the dirt path has it, Earth First has been planting this vine for the past 4 years in hopes additional Amazon deforestation with further their environmental cause.

and suggests mankind is having more impact on delicate ecosystems than previously shown. Information seem a bit vague here. Wonder what caused them to draw this conclusion other than wishfull thinking? No suggstions of controlled CO2 absorption tests to sustain the CO2 stimulus idea.

He said the growth in vines appeared to have been caused by greater concentrations of carbon dioxide, the "greenhouse" gas that most scientists believe is causing global temperatures to rise as a result of human activity.Not true - only those whose grant money depends on "further study" and those who are committed lefties on other issues as well.

If you change an environmental driver like carbon dioxide concentration, some plants will do better than others," he said. There are three problems with this. First of all, grass transfers carbon dioxide into oxygen better than trees. Choking of the trees would increase grass growth. Second, any plant that benefits more from carbon dioxide is more likely to be able to transfer it to oxygen-- perhaps not in every case, but there is a much higher probability. Third, Tarzan could use more vines, or he'll be stuck in Africa, and Africans don't want whites in their continent any more [at least not Mugabe].

"The spread of woody vines -- like the ones Tarzan swings from in the movies-"Gee, Reuters. Golly. Thanks ever so much for the explanation of what these things called "vines" are.
Hey Reuters..........this is what's called "condescending bulls**t"; you know........like the kind we saw issuing from your buddy, Clinton, for years. Like that.

Civilization must achieve progress. These vines are to Tarzan, what BART is to San Francisco.

For crying out loud!! How is it that everything we as humans do adversly affects the earth? The tree huggers appear to subscribe to the survival of the fittest when it supports their political adgenda! Now the plants are adapting to their enviroment and that is not good enough! I have had it with the enviro-socialists blaming every change on earth on us humans. It is widely accepted that we are currently coming out of an ice age and of course the earth's climate is changing! The earth has been warming for hundreds of thousands of years prior to man's arrival! Sheesh!

>The spread of woody vines -- like the ones Tarzan swings from in the movies-- is the first change in plant composition that scientists have recorded in the deepest virgin jungle, and suggests mankind is having more impact on delicate ecosystems than previously shown.Environmentalists are Satanists masquerading as normal people. They want to kill people in large numbers per Agenda 21; see link below*! The "media" is their lying member to deceive the deceived-sheeple into running to embrace their own death.
See Avoiding-Sulla's post here ~~ 27 ~~~ *THE AXIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVIL
"The agenda of these Malthusian misanthropic megalomaniacs could not be more clear." ....AV
The gov't through NASA suggests today that smoke in China is the result of fires..."caused by man..."
What remedy might they suggest? Kill the fires or have less people to start fires? LIGHTNING caused most of the fires in Oregon. G~d makes LIGHTNING! Will they try to kill Him too?
There's a Holocaust coming!

Well!!!!
THAT would explain the sudden growth of wild grapevines in my woods!!!
Probably have to stop cutting the lawn and spewing all those globalwarming chemicals.
Wonder why I didn't think of that???

the biomasss of the trees will absorb as much as a comprable mass of tree and maybe more.

Vines Spread, Choke Trees in Deepest Amazon Jungle
I guess nobody else was willing to dare the sound of rimshots, but here goes:
"But hey...it's a jungle out there!"
(even for the trees)
