A RECENT SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT HAS PROVEN THAT INCREASES IN ATMOSPEREIC CO2 LEVELS CAUSES INCREASES PLANT GROWTH. NATURE (hat tip ACE):
In the study, Mohan and her co-workers pumped extra CO2 over three large circular plots of North Carolina pine forest. For six years, the plants inside were exposed to an extra 200 parts per million of CO2 over today's atmospheric concentration of about 380 parts per million, roughly what we might expect from pollution by the middle of this century.
... Mohan's experiment sought to check whether the plants shoot up in the wild, as they do in greenhouse experiments. "Yes, dramatically," was the answer. ...
Other research has suggested that vines tend to grow particularly fast in response to higher CO2 levels, and that vines are increasing in abundance all over the planet. Unlike trees, which use extra carbon to grow more wood, vines use it to produce more leaves. The extra leaves help the plant to harvest even more CO2, the cycle continues and the vines flourish.
IOW:
Increases in atmopspheric CO2 leads to increases in plant growth, which leads to increases in CO2 sequestration, which is homeostasis, which means that increases in atmosphereic CO2 levels is no threat to life on Earth. ZERO.
Will someone please tell Al Gore to shut up, now? NOW!
BTW: If increasing CO2 warms the Earth, then algae growth would also increase and this would also sequester more CO2. IOW: there can be no crisis.
So why foes the Left persist in perpetrating this hoax? Because it's a way to justify greater government interference in the free market and higher taxes.

The initial premise here is "A RECENT SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT HAS PROVEN THAT INCREASES IN ATMOSPEREIC CO2 LEVELS CAUSES INCREASES PLANT GROWTH." Fine. Makes sense.
The quoted article goes on to say, Other research has suggested that vines tend to grow particularly fast in response to higher CO2 levels, and that vines are increasing in abundance all over the planet." First, let me point out that you’re conceding here that higher CO2 levels are in fact going up all over the planet. You then go on to claim that homeostasis will be reached because increased levels of CO2 will cause increased CO2 sequestration. But you provide no evidence that the percentage increase in plant growth and thus sequestration is the same as the CO2 increase. For example, let’s say that every 100% increase in CO2 caused a 5% increase in plant growth and an equal 5% increase in sequestration. This doesn’t give homeostasis, it gives a 5% slower increase in CO2 than you would have had without that effect. You say that there can be no crisis because of this, but that’s obviously untrue. The simple fact that you already conceded that CO2 levels are, in fact, rising all over the plant shows that homeostasis is not being reached.
Creating A Carbon Economy
We have developed new systems making carbon sequestration
profitable and creating a carbon economy instead of wasting it.
These systems are under Patents Pending and we have done a
book from the website. You can see it all on our website at:
