Quote:It truly is that simple.


From the article from Forbes:


"In the end, everything about climate science boils down to one simple fact: all else being equal, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in a mixture of gasses will cause the mixture to absorb more heat."


There is no getting around it; its science.

 

All else isn't equal though. They've spent the last five years uncovering mistake after mistake in their understanding of how the biosphere responds to this increase, and they considered not one BENEFIT of the increase in their models, only potential negatives that HAVE NOT and WILL NOT come to fruition.

“On the face of it, elevated CO2 boosting the foliage in dry country is good news and could assist forestry and agriculture in such areas,” Donohue reported, while adding that scientists should still monitor secondary effects."

 

And...

 

"The satellite data show plant life in the United States has especially benefited from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and gradually warming temperatures. Satellite data show foliage has increased in the vast majority of the United States since 1982, with the western U.S. benefiting the most. Indeed, many western regions experienced a greater than 30 percent increase in foliage since 1982."
