Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration does cause plants to grow a little bit faster. However, there is also a drop in their nutritional value. But good luck with your climate science denialism.

Hey @JacarC,
I believe that atmospheric CO2 levels did increase rather rapidly in the 1960s due to industrialization and population growth.
When you say Borlaug succeeded "with the help of rising atmospheric CO2", do you think he knew that CO2 levels were rising in those days? Or is you claim retrospective?

@Ryo1 CO2 is not a pollution, we put in green house to increase food production. Bambam classified it 2013 to sell you the bull shit story of global warming

@1patriot
Fair enough. I actually haven't come to a conclusive opinion on the matter yet, like science isn't conclusive. We need CO2 to live by the way.

@Ryo1 Actually, science is conclusive in a limited way. For instance, it is known conclusively that electric current in a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire. And the facts of biological evolution and plate tectonics are likewise conclusively established. That doesn't mean there cannot still be some adjustments around the edges. The age of the Earth is definitely about 4.6 billion years. When did the first living thing evolve on this planet? That may never be conclusively known. The earliest date so far is around 3½ billion years ago. But the first organisms probably were not fossilized. Life may have already been established half a billion years earlier.

At this point, it's fair to say that anthropogenic global warming has been conclusively documented. That is, human combustion of fossil fuels has increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, resulting in the retention of more heat in the atmosphere and oceans. In the community of climate science, there is no controversy over this basic fact. What has not been concluded (yet) is how soon we hit the tipping point where the warming rapidly accelerates due to feedbacks in the natural system. Some people think we have already crossed the Rubicon. Others think it's still a ways off. But that it will happen sooner or later if we keep on with business as usual is conclusively accepted as a fact.

@Flyingsaucesir
>>> science is conclusive in a limited way. Indeed. Kinda preaching to the converted. As for climate change, I'm not a denier; I've been pondering on it carefully, that's all.

Regenerative farming is being promoted in the UK. Being a small country, we have limited space. Regenerative farming is the way to go.

@Ryo1 Regenerative farming is absolutely the way to go!

And it goes beyond just what is done on the farm. For instance, in my area (San Diego County), the in-sink garbage disposal has gone the way of the dodo 🦤. Now we put all our kitchen scraps in green can with the hedge clippings and other yard waste. It all get composted and is eventually returned to agricultural use. 🪴
