Rise in CO2 has greened Earth

[Locutus]

Naturally, being the BBC, we're all still doomed to die in an oven, because, theories.

Carbon dioxide emissions from industrial society have driven a huge growth in trees and other plants.

A new study says that if the extra green leaves prompted by rising CO2 levels were laid in a carpet, it would cover twice the continental USA.

Climate sceptics argue the findings show that the extra CO2 is actually benefiting the planet.

But the researchers say the fertilisation effect diminishes over time.

They warn the positives of CO2 are likely to be outweighed by the negatives.


but anyway...

Mostly unrelated to the story, but worth repeating:

And Judith Curry, the former professor of Earth and atmospheric sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, added: "It is inappropriate to dismiss the arguments of the so-called contrarians, since their disagreement with the consensus reflects conflicts of values and a preference for the empirical (i.e. what has been observed) versus the hypothetical (i.e. what is projected from climate models).

It's horrible, there's more to eat and burn and it grows agian on the ashes Obviously we need more CO2.

I hope to see the notorius theory put to death along with its adherant. idiots

That means they smell the rat, under the porch, the CO2 rebellion, CO2 is good for us, that's why they don't want us to have it free. I'm going to burn a hundred acres next winter. It'll all be back in thirty years, thanks to CO2.

This time I ain;t kidding, if you get between me and my CO2 , hot water or death. I'm burnin that fukin tree you just try and stop me.

Funny, times of above normal warming led to the glory of rome and the reniasance, while mini ice ages brought us such wonderful things as the dark ages, and in the 1800s some 200 years ago, the year without summer.
Seems simple enough. People starve in the colder times, and flourish in the warmer times.
Can't have that now can we.
Cheer up though:
Bill Gates is on Youtube telling us he would like to reduce the worlds population by 15 percent through use of vaccines.
Just to help ease the food crunch in the coming global cooling cycle I suppose.
...and maybe like they do with chickens, pigs, and cattle:
to fatten the rest of us up to help the rest of us stay fed.

CO2 is my birthright, you ain't gettin no money

it makes thing s grow, that's why they hate it

"Fertilization effect diminished over time"? (from the OP)
um...
Plants eat Co2, animals eat plants...
humans eat 'em all!

After decades of attacking cavities they decid'ed to focus on CO2 an otherwise beneficial gas, they demonized a gas, the miseducated public swallowed it whole, about twenty tow people in total, next time you want to get elected try making CO2 legal fat head fart laying dead eggs in the PMO. God save Canada

We are awash in communists and satanist and most importantly idiots. They will fix it.

"Fertilization effect diminished over time"? (from the OP)
um...
Plants eat Co2, animals eat plants...
humans eat am all!

Elementry food chain EFC, they don't teach that in school no more. The stuff dosn't grow in the can sister.

LIES. ALL LIES. There I beat flossy to it.

Carbon fixation in more ways than just turning CO2 into sugars flora uses to be more robust and store more than enough sugars and proteins in the fruit and seed for the next generation.

Horrible.
