    Sounds like a win win to me.


    Greenhouses use co2 generators to stimulate plant growth and higher yields.


    Higher levels of co2 also increases peotein content in cereals and sugar content in fruits.
    No, just getting drier isn't a prediction of climate change. More extremes are the prediction - more droughts at times but also more extreme water events and storms of the type we've seen recently.
    The article I posted indicated that it would make plants more water efficient - in a way turning C3 plants into more like C4 plants are now. More water efficient, higher sugar - but considerably less protein, you got that part wrong. More biomass at lower protein taking up less water and less nutrients would lead to crops with lower feed value. Wouldn't that be similar to what a lot of you are having problems with this year due to the high rainfall?

    Been happening FOREVER, who's fault is that? Stupid Creator?
    No, they release carbon dioxide when decaying unless you do something like we are doing to capture and store the carbon in the soil (trampling grass into the soil and feeding the soil critters.
