The theory was proposed and proven through experimentation. Life, plant life in this case, has learned to take advantage of co2, to thrive. Introducing excess co2 into our environment is like injecting steroids into plant life. They grow twice as big and twice as fast. Further you'll find the additional co2 will result in additional o2, which will make animals grow faster and bigger as well, but that's just my random theory I don't know if anyone has tested effects of excess o2 on animals.
not according to science. Maybe now you're using your gut
Climate myths: Higher CO2 levels will boost plant growth and food production - environment - 16 May 2007 - New Scientist
Show me where anyone says more CO2 is better for plants across the board. You cant because its not true. At least, according to science![]()
I've read the link you posted. It agrees with what I said 100%, though it downplays the effects by switching gears to talk about yield. Then it goes off on a tangent proposing that the good effects may not apply to "all" plant yields and "may" cause harm due to "possible" acidity of the ocean. IOW the link is attempting to disprove facts by making baseless suppositions.
The first paragraph is this:
According to some accounts, the rise in carbon dioxide will usher in a new golden age where food production will be higher than ever before and most plants and animals will thrive as never before. If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is.
