This is hardly news, wtf do you think happens in greenhouses? C02 plus heat equals more plant growth. Satallite images have shown a greening for ages.
The argument is supposed to be it gets too hot in regions that are already hot, although you would think the sahara would qualify for that.
Another excuse they have against bumber crop yeilds is the quality goes down or some such shit.

No, the argument is that there is increased entropy (heat) in the closed system we call the troposphere. That doesn't mean hot areas are hotter. It just means there is more energy in the system, which can affect evaporation rates, lapse rates, wind, humidity, and precipitation. Just look at what effects El Nino has around the globe just because the eastern Pacific Ocean warms by 4°C.

I've heard this. Plant are about thirty percent ed carbs than they were a century ago. But proteinand mineral content did not rise to match. This could help explain the global rise of obesity.
they never argue the syria will be 130 degrees in 10 years. they know if they make this the argument no one will care
