Humanity will suffer far less consequences than many other inhabitants of the Earth.
CO2 has never been a bottleneck for plant growth. It's always been bioavailable nitrogen. This has nothing to do with climate science. If you got this wrong it's because you're a gullible fool.
Did CO2 come up with that idea??
No, just those interested in avoiding paying for the externalities from their actions.
These studies are the reason we are in this problem. Looking at one variable, in isolation if all other, and giving oil barons propaganda to tell the masses. Guess those tobacco advisors hired by oil companies did/are doing their job well.
Plants growing in heightened CO2 end up picking up less nutrients and more heavy metals.
Wow you think? What, do you do this to animals too? Throw them in double the oxygen and expect everything to work out?
What made them think CO~2~ was the limiting factor?
TIL any models (still) used this bs.
Wtf.
Dirty money everywhere.
Will these plants prevent damage from droughts, floods, wildfires and hurricanes?
Oh great! I can't wait for carbon dioxide induced blood acidity!
