Ohio State University study reveals plants are loving increased CO2 levels. Big time. link For the record, Earth's atmosphere is actually well below the optimal CO2 levels for plant growth by around 300% (which is why greenhouses add CO2 to their internal air link ). In fact, we are still well below pre-Ice Age levels, with considerable room to expand. Now, I'm curious as to what that boosted tree growth is doing to oxygen levels, ‘cause it's gotta be pumping that stuff out. The world during the human era is around 21% oxygen (and this has been the case since long before Industrialization and fossil fuel usage). But in the dinosaur era we were at 30% oxygen levels, which is why the dinos got so freakishly huge (to our eyes). More CO2=bigger plants=more O=bigger animals. Keep an eye on the lizards and birds, y'all. They're plotting a comeback… |
