CO2 benefits

The greening from additional CO2 stopped in the 1990s. Additional CO2 since then has had no effect on plant growth. Plant growth is now limited by other bottlenecks.

Yup, no new plants since 1990

Mr Carlson claims, right off the bat, that we have seen little discussion of the carbon cycle from "alarmists". Allow me to point you to page 79 of the Technical Summary of AR6's Physical Science Basis where a discussion of the carbon cycle begins and continues for more than 25 pages. The carbon cycle is mentioned or discussed at hundreds of spots in this document.

I have to run some errands. I will get back to this in a bit.

Carlson's warning that he was going to ramble on about CO2 and photosynthesis for almost two hours is not the most enticing invite I've ever heard. I am familiar with photosynthesis.

It's a long podcast so take your time. I have it on in the background

What are all these baby pine trees that are growing in my forest?

Imagination clearly

I have skipped through it. I am familiar with photosynthesis and what happens when you increase CO2 levels. Unfortunately, that will not compensate for the harm caused by raising the Earth's temperature by several degrees.

Have you looked at "The Physical Science Basis"?

nice opinion, too bad it aint fact

The video? It's factual for the most part. But I saw no discussion whatsoever about greenhouse warming or what would actually be involved in shifting agriculture towards the poles.

bullshit

just about everything you post, say, quote, and think is pure bullshit, and without a link you can not articulate a damn thing about CO2 and the Heavy Industry that is what you call clean.

You don't seem to be following the conversation. Did you watch the video in the OP? That'd be a start.

A warmer earth is always a benefit to life overall.

Right up until the trees light up.

No

What about the papers he cited where increased co2 was actually beneficial in the experiments?

 

[marvin martian]

No, even then. Wildfires have been a feature of the landscape for millions of years.

Well we don't have that problem. We have an idiot problem. From not properly tending dead overgrowth to unattended camp fires to cigarettes to fireworks then finally lightning which falls back on overgrowth

I bet you that a drastic weather change can enhance the fire risk a lot faster than the forestry service can tend to the dead and dying overgrowth.

Everyone admits that increasing temperatures will increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. Did you ever think that some of that water comes from America's forests?

Yes because that is NORMAL. Transpiration

Gotta shower and cook dinner before bed. I'll try to check in later or tomorrow
