Oh no, not that again.
That is a statistical analysis of global crop growth versus CO2 emissions.
Yes, there is more crop now - because there are more farmers and more mouths to feed. If there's a shortage more forests gets burned and converted to farmland...

The report states that thousands of studies have shown the beneficiary effect of CO2 - without naming even one.
But we know the relationship is not simple - as these studies reveal. There are benefits in certain dry areas, but also massive problems in others. Some crops thrive, some cope, some die.
The danger is in the soil too. Acidification inhibits the plants ability to absorb essential nutrients.

The relationship between c02sciences.com and global warming, or simple plain truth for that matter, is simple however:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center..._Global_Change
Quote:
The Center was founded and is run by Craig D. Idso, along with Sherwood B. Idso, his father, and Keith E. Idso, his brother. They came from backgrounds in agriculture and climate. According to the Idsos, they became involved in the global warming controversy through their study of earth's temperature sensitivity to radiative perturbations and plant responses to elevated CO2 levels and carbon sequestration. The Center sharply disputes the consensus scientific opinion on climate change shown in IPCC assessment reports, and believes that global warming will be beneficial to mankind.
In other words, http://www.co2science.org/ is a lie factory.

Anyone can put anything on the internet, make it look neat and convincing.

More CO2 is good for plants. And the earth is flat.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
