NASA agrees with me, so it’s a very scientific comment.

For most crops the saturation point will be reached at about 1,000–1,300 ppm under ideal circumstances. A lower level (800–1,000 ppm) is recommended for raising seedlings (tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers) as well as for lettuce production.

If you followed the science instead of your feelings you’d know that global warming is a great thing for everyone on earth, biodiversity, etc. with a little foresight and an acceptable of the science we could have rainforests in London.
- Hikikomori 3y agoIs nice to live in a greenhouse? If we have rainforests in London what will be like at the equator?
- _3u10 3y agoIt was 40C last week in Asuncion. We're about 20 degrees south of the equator.
- yareal 3y agoYou didn't read the whole thing I posted. Of course plants prefer warmer and more CO2, but to get to numbers that matter we'd have to fundamentally kill whole ecosystems.
- _3u10 3y agoThey would be replaced with more diverse ecosystems. Imagine how many more species we’d have with a planet covered in forest. It’s time for Europe to scale back its farms and become more forested like Brazil.
