An interesting article in today's paper. Turns out that plants really, really like CO2. Told you so. Yes I did.
It turns out that they like it so much that they grow leaves faster now that there's plenty of CO2 in the atmosphere. The leaves stay up there on the trees where they belong even longer too. This has to be good. At some point they'll stay on the trees for good. Then you won't have to rake leaves or threaten your neighbor when he's using his leaf blower to blow leaves back onto your lawn.
It even turns out that crop yields will increase by 15-20% within the next 50 years. More green and more food, doesn't that mean fewer starving people? How can this be a bad thing?
Can't wait til chatty Connie the Minister for Climate sets her people to spin this into something evil. Maybe she'll have to give big Al a ring. We could turn this into a full-blown catastrophe.
