*As to the plant growth,there's no mention of temperature.It doesn't matter what else is provided to the plant if the stomata are closed on account of heat.Also,laboratory demonstrations do not reflect the real world.Overstory,understory,pollinator access,soil microbes,proper moisture,specific to the plant,drainage,night temperatures,faunal predation,insects,fungi,pH,elevation/lapse rate,wind patterns,relative humidity,etc.. That single species is not a barometer for any other plant species.Overall biosphere production is in decline,as well as food nutrient levels.
*Glowing testimonials,and boosterism for all the good modern technology and the industrial revolution has provided is countered by a planet in decline,on timescales never seen in the paleo record of the planet.
*The news from Antarctica was covered by ABC,BBC,and Deutsch-Velle,the data provided by the research scientists at the research stations there: Argentina National Meteorological Service data.
*Solar Polar Orbiter will be at half-Astronomical Unit separation,doing exactly what Ulysses did,except for better remote sensing capabilities.They're not monitoring anything they haven't attempted to monitor before.I'm uncertain that any spaceprobe could survive a 'grazing' encounter.'Orbiter' will be at 500-degrees,protected by a baked animal bone heat-shield.The primary focus is space weather effects on communications satellites/GPS navigation,as Alaskan bush pilots rely on.
PS Missed the Lagrange points comment.Are L4 and L5 over the north and south solar poles?
