Rising CO2 levels are re-GREENING the Earth with huge gains in forest coverage

[sayak83]

No correlation. Temperature goes up in down in long stretches but CO2 is rising steadily. Look at 1940 to 1970s, and look at 2000 on. CO2 keeps rising but temperature follows its own path.

Stop posting fake plots from fake website. Here is the actual plots from NASA.

If you have ever plotted y = exp(x), you would know what this plot above looks like.

Maybe the absorption spectrum of the CO2 molecule is leftist propaganda.

@KW probably thinks that.

There is no evidence that CO2 has a significant impact on temperatures, if that's what your getting at.

I don't know what the ideal CO2 level is. I do know that higher CO2 levels will enable faster plant growth rates, increasing forest area, increasing agricultural production, and increasing food sources for animal life.

Alright you clearly do not understand some rather basic science. The Greenhouse Effect itself, which warms the Earth significantly and is a good thing is not controversial. I can run you through the math and science of it. It is not that hard to understand. Are you willing to try to learn?

That's a leftists trap. Once people are educated, living in reality and able to think for themselves they're never going to vote GOP again!

Muah Ha ha!!

I used to oppose the idea of AGW. This is the graph that finally sealed the deal for me, and that was at least ten years ago:

The reality of global greening
‘Global Greening’ Sounds Good. In the Long Run, It’s Terrible. (Published 2018)

Plants and marine plankton are soaking up merely 25% of the CO2 emitted by us by increasing their photosynthesis rates. They cannot increase it more because of their metabolic limitations. The rest 75% is getting dumped in oceans (acidification) and atmosphere (warming) creating the current rapidly detereorating climate of the world. This is well know and part of every climate model used (I can quote papers since 2000).
So what exactly is the good news here???

A good litmus test of determining excess CO2 is by measuring the thickness of leaves on the plants.

Where did you get that from? It is well outside my area of expertise, but I have never heard that claim before. And links to articles from well respected professional peer reviewed journals is almost a must.

Not sure what you mean.

 

[rational experiences]

When a human says greenhouse gases without four seasons was a dinosaurs life huge forestry

And trees nature oxygenated water.

Trees live in that status. Yet dinosaurs not trees as bio life went extinct.

Is the same status. Tree nature life is direct first origin position to ground dusts bio life.

Blood life cell isn't a tree was the human scientists technology theists owned warning.

Interesting idea. I’ll look into it.

Done.

High CO2 levels cause plants to thicken their leaves, which could worsen climate change effects, researchers say

The main downside of this is that plants with thicker leaves seem to be less efficient at absorbing the CO2 from the atmosphere, to the tune of billions of tones of carbon not real sorbet into plant life each and every year. I.e. - a positive feedback loop on rising CO2 and temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere.

Elevated CO2 concentration induces photosynthetic down-regulation with changes in leaf structure, non-structural carbohydrates and nitrogen content of soybean | BMC Plant Biology | Full Text

This last article has similar findings as seen in the first. Although this one focuses solely on soybean crop plants.
Either way, @Twilight Hue comment does appear to hold water, but not as much CO2.
