Global Warming's Beneficial Effects (1)

The Global Warming monster is not all that bad.

Dennis Avery wrote in "Global Warming - Boon for Mankind?" - 

A planet earth which has longer growing seasons, more rainfall, and higher carbon dioxide (CO2) levels would be a "plant heaven.

Modest warming would help crops, not hinder them.

"There is virtually no place on earth too hot or humid to grow rice, cassava, sweet potatoes, or plantains, for example, and corn can be grown in a wider variety of climates than any other crop."

Dutch greenhouses routinely and deliberatley triple CO2 levels.

The result is a 20-40% yield increase.

Extra CO2 helps plants use water more efficiently.

More than 1000 experiements with 475 crop plant varieties in 29 separate countries have shown that if the world's CO2 was doubled, crop yields would raise by an average of 52%.

Tell me again, why is it we don't want more CO2 in the air?
