Study Shows Huge Wheat Crop Yields with Increased CO2

[ding]

It's a rare woman that can handle that power. and they're not usually liberals. Do you disagree?

and secondly. YOu like women telling you what to do. ding? How about the ones that want to castrate you?

I don't know any women that want to castrate me.

If someone speaks the unadulterated truth I wouldn't care less what their gender, race or creed was.

 

[Turtlesoup]

So you can't. Got it.

Thanks!

If you are interested in ACTUALLY engaging in a serious discussion you could address concepts like how plants actually grow and if all plants thrive under exactly the same conditions. Or how plants are affected by other factors which may be impacted by more CO2.

But no, you just can't muster anything like that because that requires actual WORK and people like you are only interested in trollin'.

Are you trying to argue plants live off CO2 and that warmer climates are easier to live and grow crop in for food? Really? Did you miss 4th grade science class?

name one.

 

[Calypso Jones]

and there are plenty of leftist women that would like nothing better than to castrate you. I'd even go so far as to bet that at some point in your life...some woman considered it.

name one.

It could be anyone at anytime. You never know who it's going to be.

nah... women love me. I treat them like princesses and grant them their every wish.

right. LOL

i'm sure.

I've read this sentence now a couple times and I still can't figure out what your point is.

Cockette on the Docket

To get more diversity of opinions on SCROTUS, the Demoiselles will push Lorena Bobbit as their next nominatrix.

Meaning that a local climate may become DRIER overall due to changing precipitation patterns. Or it may become WETTER.

Or it may remain the same.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

The sound of settled science.
Who woulda thunk more plant food means more plants and more warm means longer growing seasons.
Further proof the climate fascists want us dead.

We're gonna need it

Couple points here about added CO2 as a "fertilizer" for plants.

Yes, added CO2 ceteris paribus would be a good fertilizer for plants. BUT added CO2 will (and already is) affect the climate. Meaning that a local climate may become DRIER overall due to changing precipitation patterns. Or it may become WETTER. Not all plants thrive under drier or wetter conditions uniformly. Just ask any gardner.

The myth of added CO2 being a net benefit is a gross oversimplification and requires that literally nothing else change. Unfortunately that isn't how any of this works.

You don't have to believe me. You can read this:

More CO2 in the atmosphere hurts key plants and crops more than it helps » Yale Climate Connections

The familiar adage - too much of a good thing is a bad thing - applies to atmospheric carbon dioxide: In higher concentrations, it is a damaging pollutant.

Great Lakes are only 12,000 years old, so what’s your point?

You posted a link to a ski instructor ... Karin Kirk ... shakes head ... you'll believe just anything from anybody ...

The skinny on added carbon to the biosphere is sound ... except that other nutrients will limit how well plants react to higher CO2 levels, notably nitrogen ... generally speaking, plants that use the C3 system of photosynthesis will prosper, the C4 process not so much ... most human food plants use the C3 process ... although this is more because of the added rainfall that comes with higher temperatures than any extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...

If you understood the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics ... you'd appreciate the truths of these statements ... warmer means wetter ... basic physics ... precipitation patterns aren't changing ... or point to a place where they are ...

Why is it when ever we try to discuss the Greening of the Earth ... we always turn to talk about castrating ding ... every time ...

Let's just cut them useless things off of him and be done with it ...

Poison Ivy

Don't trust anything from Yale. That advanced prep school is where Globalists are groomed, proving once again that hereditary power is a threat to the disempowered majority. Once the transnationalist traitors are identified, their power can easily be dissolved.

Obviously, the Unabomber Cult is an agency of the One-World Order agenda. Impoverishing the rest of us through Green restrictions and humiliating us by cramming us into buses or puny Ecobuggies will make it easy for the self-appointed Guardians to rule absolutely. If persecuted relentlessly, the people won't hate those megalomaniacs; we will hate ourselves and quarrel over the scraps the pompous plutocrats toss to us from intentionally limited supplies.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

WOMEN? Ruling over people???? WOAH! That sounds TERRIFYING! Run! Hide! IT"S WOMEN!!!!

The Anal-Retentive Beget the Anal-Receptive

That mockery could only come from a Mama's Boy who's afraid to become a man and dominate. It is sick and unnatural for a woman to dominate. An even worse result is that the sons of henpecked men want to become women.

Wait a second ... we from the World Government™ had nothing to do with Teddy Kaczynski ... he was a fruit-cake lone wolf type, honest ...

Actually, it's building code we're using to humiliate you ... have you seen the price of building materials lately? ... all that's reflected on your mortgage/rent payments ... [ka'ching] ... you've lost before the ink dries on the escrow papers ...

Oh ... and thanx again for paying our fair share of the tax load ... you Middle Class people are cool that way ... if God thought you could do better, He wouldn't have made you commoners, now would He? ...

Another aspect of the complexity of land use~farming;

The Nation’s Corn Belt Has Lost a Third of Its Topsoil​

An ear of corn sits on topsoil in Nebraska, part of the nation’s Corn Belt. Scientists estimate the region has lost about 35 percent of its topsoil.
...
But centuries of farming those hills have taken their toll on the soil. Now, farmers like Watkins are facing widespread soil degradation that can lower their crop yields and incomes. “In 150 years or so, we’ve lost over half of that rich topsoil—if not all in some places.”

Crops hunger for the carbon-packed composition of rich topsoil. They need the nutrients and water that it stores, unlike the compacted, infertile soils that decades of conventional farming create.

The baseline for soil in Iowa is visible on land owned by Jon Judson, a sustainable farmer and conservation advocate. His farm hosts a rare plot of original prairie grasses and wildflowers. Under the prairie, the soil is thick and dark, with feet of organic matter built up and plenty of moisture. The next field over is a recovering conventional field like Watkins’ farm, and the effect of years of conventional practices is obvious. The soil is pale and compacted, with only a few inches of organic carbon, much less soil moisture, and a lot more clay.

Part of the problem is the use of HYBRID seeds which suck a much greater flow of elements and water out of the soil needed to sustain them thus more rapidly depleting the soils and organic matter.

Home gardeners who go the main Organic method way never have this problem and people like me never till the garden at all thus keeping a better grade of soil TILTH which is a big deal for keeping the soil healthy.
