Notice what the activist Schlesinger chooses to point out. More pollen (meaning healthier plants) and more poison ivy (larger leaf plant life). How damn pathetic does their side have to get to try to work with emotions instead of logic. Yes, you dumbass. Even what you want to label as bad plants will do better in a higher carbon dioxide environment. That is why we invent weed control, you dimwitted bafoon.

Schlesinger is still operating on the assumption that we, with our puny contribution to CO2, are causing the increase. He's still operating on the assumption that CO2 is the problem. Did he even take the sun into consideration in his "study"?
