  Linzden, data.

  Professor Linzden's data and logic is surpassing difficult to argue.  He regularly refers to the well known fact that climate models are but tools being forged, not accurate and reliable predictive methods.

  One of his best examples is that the METS model (one of the 4 most influential models) has predicted that summer rainfall in Ireland and the Central Sahara is the same.

  What is known is that plants evolved and genetically fixed the C3 photosynthesis metabolic pathway in an atmosphere of about ten times present atmospheric C02.

  The reason that 90% of atmospheric CO2 in the earlier atmosphere is not still in the atmosphere we breath is that plants fixed the CO2 in forms such as limestone.

  In the Everglades, where I live, there is approximately 14,000 feet of lime rock - ALL of which was metabolically fixed.  Yea, photosysthesis!

  As we free more CO2 by burning carbon fuels, we cause faster and more efficient photosynthesis.  Look up Dr. Idso's work on mass of plants (sour orange trees) grown in CO2 enhanced atmospheres.

  Not only does increased CO2 cause faster plant growth, it results in lower water requirement for plant growth.
