    Rise in CO2 has 'greened Planet Earth'

    • And the environmentalists attempting to "Save the Rainforests" cheer loudly!!! Hooray...drake-von-drake
    • Hmmm thought you guys were saying above it wasn't caused by CO2 and just "natural warming cycle"...yuekit
    • Its more along the path that plant life benefits from co2's im not sure about the other info they are throwing in, in trying play up the warming.yurimon
    • nothing to see here, just your average, cyclical shit, previously captured in the rock recorddrake-von-drake
    • If CO2 emissions cause such a dramatic change in plant growth, why wouldn't it affect climate as well?yuekit
    • there is talk that we are preventing an ice age but i dont know. I think there are so many factors for climate, im not sure we will have down in a decade.yurimon
    • climate models are faulty. so you guess as good as any, only thing as big concern is false politics in all this driving this issue more then the science.yurimon
    • No doubt there are some green and alternative energy companies that stand to benefit. But overall self interest would lie much more on the side of not doingyuekit
    • anything so that you don't slow economic growth. No politician wants to be the one that slows the economy, even if the long term consequences end up havingyuekit
    • a much higher cost. So there's your conspiracy, much more realistic than a bunch of scientists around the world all making stuff up.yuekit
    • Such the contrarianutopian
    • you mean the email debacle with fake data being used to prop up global warming? stuff like that?yurimon
    • There was no fake data, just emails showing scientists debating over what their research showed, exactly what you would expect.yuekit
    • when you examine how money, politics, university grants, corps work together with science you will understand.yurimon
    • What part of the science do you think is wrong? It's well established that gases like CO2 and methane produce a greenhouse effect when added to atmosphere.yuekit
    • That's one of the reasons why the Earth's climate is different from those of other planets, and also different from how it was in the past.yuekit
    • Considering the amount of CO2 and other emissions pumped into the air by billions of people driving cars, factories, etc. it's a pretty basic cause and effect.yuekit
    • how many particles per billion?yurimon
