Scientific Report Pours Cold Water On Major Talking Point Of Climate Activists

Daily Caller \ GREGORY WRIGHTSTONE

The purveyors of climate doom will not tolerate the good news of our planet thriving because of modest warming and increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, a recent scientific paper concludes that an optimistic vision for Earth and its inhabitants is nonetheless justified.

Widely accepted data show an overall greening of Earth resulting from a cycle of natural warming that began more than 300 years ago and from industrialization’s additions of CO2 that started in the 19th century and accelerated with vigorous economic activity following World War II.

Also attributed to these and other factors is record crop production, which now sustains 8 billion people—ten times the population prior to the Industrial Revolution. The boost in atmospheric CO2 since 1940 alone is linked to yield increases for corn, soybeans and wheat of 10%, 30% and 40%, respectively.

The positive contribution of carbon dioxide to the human condition should be cause for celebration, but this is more than demonizers of the gas can abide.  more

  1. GM,
    Except that to some of those Carboniferous Kritters, you look equally big and juicy.

  2. President Elect – I’d have to use my big Homo Sapiens Sapiens brain to evade them, noting that it, too, is a delicacy in that eat-and-be-eaten world. But it could all be better than living with Communists in a dying country. All the mollusks I could possibly want. Mmmm.

  3. Dammit, more food, better living conditions, longer growing seasons, a climate more suited to human habitation. We can’t have any of that.
