NASA Satellite Data Support ‘Shockingly Large’ Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Effect: Study

[Uncle]

“Taylor and Schlenker [not NASA scientists, but from Columbia University] found that an increase of 1 part per million of carbon dioxide raised corn yields by 0.5 percent, soybean yields by 0.6 percent, and wheat yields by 0.8 percent.

Put another way, yields may have increased 1–2 [percent] per year due to CO2 fertilization in recent years,” the authors wrote, noting the positive correlation between increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and greater agricultural yields in recent decades.

They also noted that the potentially dramatic fertilizing effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide might not be so unexpected, given how it’s used in actual agricultural greenhouses.
“The gas has long been pumped into greenhouses to spur photosynthesis and increase the yield of horticultural crops. Optimal CO2 concentrations of 900 [parts per million] have been suggested, which is over twice current ambient levels,” the authors wrote."

yields may have increased 1–2 [percent] per year due to CO2 fertilization in recent years

unfortunately, my standard response from anything from any university genius, is now:

"Get Back With Me When You've Got Proof, Either Way, until then, I'd like my hard-earned-taxpayer-money back..."

Duh. It's plant food you morons. Greenhouses have been using this for some time.

 

[Voodoo]

High temps, high O2 levels and high CO2 levels are a recipe for dense life on the planet.

I think it would be easy to ask a "high value" greenhouse grower what works... And I think I know the answer.

That's the last thing they want. lol

But CO2 is bad right...?


Right?

In recent media reports NASA was happy to suggest that the additional greening its satellite imagery showed, was evidence of the green revolution ie monsatan products.
I immediately read it as more greenery around population centres because there is more carbon dioxide available ........

Sun cycles cause atmospheric changes
CO2 is plant food

Trump tried to point out the lie but he got steamrollered , something similar happened when he suggested chlorine dioxide was an effective treatment for Rona .............

Perhaps, that tells you what they think of life here on earth.

There is a really derided sect of climatologist who believe that we have not fully exited from the last ice age. Earth's temperatures have always been warmer than now, barring the ice ages. To me, it seems that they are correct. Global warming science is just a bad theorem pushed by the elite political class for their monetary and power gains.

I wonder how the Expanding Earth theory would interact. My WAG is that as the earth expands the crust gets farther from the hot core. I would expect a bit of cooling over the long-term as an added effect.

Put another way, yields may have increased

did you miss the part: May Have???


what type of science are we paying for???

the 'fer sher' part or the 'may have' part???


we can't have both (maybe if we all contribute enough, maybe we can...)

What's your point?

It's a known fact that increased atmospheric CO2 levels contribute to additional growth.




The article gives quantitative figures and I'm sure there must be a host of others.

The graph above is from here.

 

[rblong2us]

Note from the above graph how steep the rate of change is either side of normal air
So a small decrease in CO2 will have a big impact on plant growth.
They have declared war on it !

If I remember from the climate change debates CO2 clearly trails temperatures. So if we are getting Colder then we should expect CO2 to decrease and again, another indication for tough crop growth and food shortages.

Found a good short video explaining this effect. CO2 is absolutely a LAGGING indicator. IE it has absolutely NO control but just follows temperatures.

Corporates Have Begun ‘Geoengineering’ The Climate, With Basically No One’s Consent.​

THE DEPLOYMENT OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE IS ONE OF THE WAYS THE CLIMATE CHANGE LOBBY ARE CONSIDERING MANIPULATING THE WEATHER.

Any greenhouse farmers will tell you 1200 ppm is great for plant growth. Not sure of the effect on humans but it certainly isn't the end of the world.
