Seeing Is Believing: How Do Plants React To 42 Days Of Elevated CO2?

    wonder if the leftist could be forced to breath some.
    a brain may begin to grow.

    This is the reason, among others, that the entire AGW argument is and always has been a fraud. It comes down to this:

    light + 6CO2 + 12H20 –> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H20

    Between plants and phytoplankton the cycle is self- regulating.

      Yeah but in the liberal mind; CO2 = C8H5Cl3O3 + C8H6Cl2O3

    • CPLViper

      For those chemically challenged;

      political.fish stated that photosynthesis is self-regulating … the formula is translated as such;

      carbon dioxide + water + sunlight yields oxygen + carbohydrate + water

      My original reply is that liberals equate carbon dioxide gas to the mixture of equal parts of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid which you all would probably recognize by its common name of “Agent Orange”

      Yes Viper but in a few deviant liberal minds CO2=$$$$$$$ these are the fuckers that should be baptized in 2,4,5,T,/2,4,D

    BHO: Get outa here wit da science & shiz

  • ZenDraken

    This used to be common knowledge.

      THANK YOU :!:

    This is why the dinosaurs were so damn BIG!

      Amen, Bro!

    There is a project to use the CO2 dissolved in seawater, along with hydrogen obtained from the electrolysis of water, to make liquid hydrocarbon fuels via Fisher-Tropsch synthesis:
    http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17632-how-to-turn-seawater-into-jet-fuel.html

    As stated in that article, the concentration of CO2 in surface seawater is about 140 times that in the atmosphere, and the oceans contain at least 50 times more CO2 than is contained in the entire atmosphere. This means that even if we could somehow magically and instantly remove *all* of the CO2 from the atmosphere, it would quickly be replaced to almost the same exact concentration. There is *nothing* we can do to materially affect the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.

    If you want to see how fast CO2 is absorbed in water, take a dinner plate and stick a birthday candle upright in the center with some glue, then fill the plate about 1/2″ deep with water. Light the candle and place a tumbler over it to trap the air. As the candle burns the trapped oxygen, it converts it to water vapor and CO2. The water vapor condenses in the water, and the CO2 quickly dissolves in the water, drawing it up into the glass. If you measure the volume of the gas left in the inverted tumbler after the candle burns out you will find about 20% less than when you started, which is just the remaining nitrogen.
