Global warming: plants may absorb more carbon dioxide than previously thought

Global warming: plants may absorb more carbon dioxide than previously thought. But! But! The science is settled! Sputter! Sputter!

CO2Insanity: Tired of the CO2 BS and all the other BS in the US and the world.

  • Some of the best crops we have raised in the 63 years I have been alive, came in the last several years. This year looks to be an exception mostly due to the cool summer we have experienced. Must be global cooling as was predicted in Time and Newsweek back in the late 70's. Anyone who lives and works outside knows the vagaries of weather. We experienced 100 degree days in the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties, but not since. Just take a look at the record highs and lows and see how evenly they are distributed over the time records have been kept. As long as believers stay in air conditioned and heated environments, they can be brainwashed into any belief.

  • In other news:

    Extensive analysis of computer models suggests that the so-called "blindingly obvious" may, in reality, be somewhat less detrimental to eyesight than being poked in the eyes with a sharpened twig.

    This is only a preliminary supposition, however, and more research is needed (so giz yer money and quit yer whinin').

  • "and may even thrive in a carbon rich environment, researchers find"

    NO DUH!!!!!!!!!

    If they find out about phytoplankton, the whole game will be over.

  • I wish some scientist would breed a plant which absorbs warmists and other assorted Green pests.

  • How ridiculous. First line under the headline says plants "may even thrive in a carbon rich environment." No shit Sherlock! Jeez, journalists are stupid. How can they act surprised by this? All they had to do, at some point over the last thirty years of this Global Warming scam, was talk to an actual greenhouse operator. The two things that make a greenhouse produce are extra heat and extra carbon dioxide. Operators have been pumping CO2 into their greenhouses for about as long as greenhouses have existed. Sheesh. And now here's The Telegraph acting like this is news.
