Global Warming makes plants happy

Timothy Birdnow

Photosynthesis is increasing in plants worldwide, according to Global Warming hacks, er, researchers.

According to this article in Hans-India:

That is exactly how it works; negative feedbacks keep the system in homeostasis. Plants LIKE warmth and carbon dioxide. They flourish in it.  That is why you can grow things in greenhouses; greenhouses often increase co2 levels to help the plants flourish, and provide extra warmth to nurture them. If the world is warmer and more, uh, carbony, then the plants will naturally grow better, removing co2 from the air in the process.

It's what we've been saying all along.

Of course, we can argue about whether this is a matter of human caused warming or a natural variable. I would argue the latter, but even if it is the former we have to remember that warming from carbon dioxide is logarithmic, for every doubling of co2 you get a halving of temperature rise as the wavelength saturates, and two degrees is all you are going to get from it. The catastrophic nightmare that the IPCC and other Gang-Greenous hysterics present as Gospel is based on the notion that there are all of these positive feedback loops, which simply don't comport with observations. Climate alarmists ignore increased plant growth, preferring to concentrate on the places where plants may stop growing due to drier conditions. But that is at odds with the whole theory, because it is of necessity a warming which leads to increased water vapor, which is the real greenhouse gas. If this is happening you would have a hotter, wetter world - ideal conditions for plant growth. There are reasons why the greatest forests on Earth are located in places with lots of rainfall and in tropical climates.

The bad times for humanity - and every other creature - is when it is cold. A warm biosphere is a happy biosphere. This idea that we are somehow "destroying the planet" is ridiculous and is driving us to monumental foolishness. We are not only wasting time and money trying to solve a non-problem, but we are terrifying children, and in the end will fundamentally reorder our society to the detriment of everyone to stop something that is actuall\ly good for us. oh, and it will increase poverty, something proven to kill people. Air rarely kills people.
