A benefit of increased Carbon Dioxide: increased efficiency in tree growth, no “Mike’s Nature trick” needed

Plants and people in cold climes ❤ CO2, Environmentalists and bankers* hate CO2 (for us plebs and plants).

I'm with nature on this one 😉

Watts Up With That?

Gosh, whouda thunk it? There goes Mann’s hockey stick. No wonder he had to truncate all the data after 1960 and splice on the instrumental record. Of course, as I’ve said before, Mann ignored Liebigs Law to make the “big lies” called “Mikes Nature trick” and “hide the decline“. Trees simply can’t be just a proxy for temperature, they are also a proxy for water, CO2, sunlight, nutrients, etc. The total growth response of a tree is the product of all environmental factors, not just temperature, something that any unbiased scientist should know and consider. Commercial greenhouse operators already know this.
