Do you remember elementary school science and biology class? The part where they explained the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into Oxygen comes to mind. A very simple topic, one that makes sense to fifth graders. However, in the category of "they needed a study to tell us this," German scientists determined that "Higher CO2 levels may be good for plants."
The dangerous rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may be troubling scientists and world leaders but it could prove to be a boon for plants, German researchers said Tuesday.
Increasing exposure to carbon dioxide appears to boost crop yields, Hans-Joachim Weigel of the Johann Heinrich von Thuenen Institute for rural areas, forestry and fisheries in the central city of Brunswick told AFP.
While alarmists will do anything to push the global warming agenda, many of us realize that the events happening are cyclical, and that common sense will eventually prevail. Rising CO2 levels are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, the greatest increase in CO2 levels was before 1940, which doesn't coincide with the "facts" being purported by environmentalists. Each decade there is a new environmental threat. In the 1970s there was global cooling. The 1980s gave us the acid rain scare. In the 1990s we were informed that the Ozone layer is disappearing. Finally this decade, we are being spoon fed global warming as to have control asserted upon us.
Those who believe the information on man made global warming will find excuses to disregard the data presented, but the facts that myself and other logical folks look at are that global warming is not a scientific fact, nor is it a consensus. There is room for debate and it is still theory. Demonizing those who speak against it are simply pushing an agenda.
