Study: Climate Change Boosted Plant Growth is Bad

More plants = more pollen = bad for those with pollen allergies.

Cuz science.

And here I thought global warming was supposed to reduce life on earth, not make it fruitful and multiply.

If the study is accurate does this mean we owe the folks cutting down the rain forest an apology and a round of thanks?

Modern Medical Science is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing to people who's lives are enriched, extended, or even must made tolerable but the downside is that it has also virtually eliminated Natural Selection Among Humans.

"Adapt or Die" is no longer the case for most of us, instead we just make another trip to the pharmacy.

Sooner or later we need to start asking some hard questions of ourselves about just how long we want to continue extending our lives at the expense of future generations.

Objectively we'd be far better off as a species if we eliminated basically everything but first aid and trauma care. The more resources we expend on the rest, the more harm we do to our own species long term survival outlook.

The earth has traditionally been warmer than it is now, including eons of much more life on the planet than what we are seeing now.

We are in an Ice Age now. We are in a brief inter glacial warming period that will come to an end one of these days.

More CO2 in the atmosphere hurts key plants and crops more than it helps​

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.
YaleClimateConnections 12/2020

[..........]
"..For example, the atmosphere has a specific recipe. CO2 and other greenhouse gases are an essential part of the recipe because they trap heat in the atmosphere. With no CO2 Planet Earth would be in a perpetual ice age. But a small amount of CO2 keeps the planet in the famous “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” condition: not too hot, not too cold, but the “just right” zone that’s ideal for life as we know it. Too much CO2 overheats the planet.

By studying Earth’s history, scientists have learned that when there was a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, the planet was hot. In fact, the last time the Earth had as much CO2 in the atmosphere as it now does was the Pliocene Epoch, more than 3 million years ago. At that time, Earth’s atmosphere was 3.6 to 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit warmer (2 to 4 degrees Celsius) than it is today. And global sea level was 50 to 80 feet (15 to 25 meters) higher.

Climate change is hard on plants.​

The basics of climate change are actually easy to understand. Human activities emit around 100 million tons of CO2 every day, mostly by burning fossil fuels, which causes the atmosphere to trap more heat. As a result of that heat-trapping pollution, the atmosphere, land, and oceans have all become warmer. The added heat triggers side effects like more intense rainstorms, floods, prolonged heat waves, and droughts. In turn, those unpleasant conditions lead to more frequent and severe wildfires, insect outbreaks, and crop failures. Sure, today’s plants have a bit more fertilizer from the extra CO2 in the air, but that additional CO2 causes many other problems, harming many plants and crops. Climate change is disrupting plant growth.

Agricultural experiments show negative effects.​

Scientists have performed many experiments to see what happens when plants and agricultural crops receive extra CO2. When supplemental CO2 was pumped into the air around plants, they grew faster. For this reason, CO2 is sometimes piped into enclosed greenhouses to boost production. But greenhouse plants also have optimal amounts of water, excellent soil, and controlled temperatures. It’s usually a different story out in the real world.

To conduct a more “real world” experiment, other studies have given plants extra CO2 plus an increase in temperature. In these conditions, many plants and crops grew poorly. In most cases, the boost from CO2 was overwhelmed by the hotter conditions. These experiments demonstrate that the myth of CO2 fertilization is false, and peer-reviewed reports find that major crops like wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans will become less productive as the world heats up.

Likewise, a landmark study in 2018 found that growing rice in high-CO2 conditions makes it less nutritious. As a basic grain, rice plays a critical role in feeding the world’s population. The extra CO2 caused an imbalance within the crop’s chemical makeup, which resulted in rice that had lower amounts of protein, iron, zinc, and B-vitamins. “The entire elemental balance is out of whack,” explained plant physiologist Lewis Ziska, an author of the study. This result is yet another example of how the recipe of nature is being disrupted by excess CO2.

Common Climate Misconceptions: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Bad news can lead to our making needed changes.​

Myths that try to “disprove” climate change can be appealing. Nobody loves the idea that human-caused pollution is now altering the chemical balance of Earth’s atmosphere. Nevertheless, climate change is happening.

But we can use our improving knowledge to prevent these problems from getting worse and maintain a healthy climate for plants and people.

Actually we're coming to the end of one hence the loss of so many glaciers. Long term forecasts now suggest we'll start back the other way and in a big way in the next 10-15 years no matter what we do to "curb global warming".

If you think global warming was bad, keep in mind that it has extended growing seasons by more than a month in the northern climes over the last hundred years. When the pendulum swings back in very short order we will no longer be able to feed our population.

When people get desperate for basic natural resources really bad things like world wars occur.

Rises in CO2 follow heating, they don't create it.

The warmer it is the more outgassing you have from the world's surface water reservoirs, rivers, oceans, even glaciers due to rapid sublimation of the ice and snow skipping the liquid phase of Ice-liquid-vapor evaporation.

Throw an ice cube in a hot skillet for ten seconds and see how much water you end with compared to total loss of mass.

Put the same volume of ice in a container under a heat lamp for an hour, again measure the remaining ice and water, the rest went to vapor.

A quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25.

An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

Green leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to chemically combine carbon dioxide drawn in from the air with water and nutrients tapped from the ground to produce sugars, which are the main source of food, fiber and fuel for life on Earth. Studies have shown that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide increase photosynthesis, spurring plant growth.

While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, it is also the chief culprit of climate change. The gas, which traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, has been increasing since the industrial age due to the burning of oil, gas, coal and wood for energy and is continuing to reach concentrations not seen in at least 500,000 years. The impacts of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice as well as more severe weather events... .

CO2 is making Earth greener—for now - NASA Science

To add, right now we have more water vapor and liquid water in the water system than the earth has seen since the last interglacial period. When we start cooling again, which is a certainty at some point that availability reverses meaning far less drinking water, food, for people and animals alike.

The more water is locked up in glaciers the less there will be to go around.

Global cooling is the most devastating thing possible for the human race, not global warming.

If C02 in the upper atmosphere gets high enough we'll cool extremely quickly due to all the heat being reflected back into space.

Insulation works both ways.
