I don't think plants will complain.

How do you know? The planet has never sustained those levels.

This may be true, but plant life is growing faster now. Perhaps it's
natures way of fixing man's mistakes.

Until the CO2 raises the temperature high enough to kill the plants off,
then what? I don't know about you, but I'd prefer for the Sahara desert
to
remain where it is.

To date, that's not happening. In the same light that few could deny
that global warming is accelerating, nothing suggests that plant
life is doing anything other than accelerating. Granted, NASA has had a
few minor errors to contend with, such as confusion between inches and
millimeters, but the report seems to have merit.

Hi Joe. Umm, something like that is, in fact, happening. The Sahara is
growing at a rate of 30 miles per year. It is encroaching on the Sahel to
the south, and appears poised to cross the Mediterranean into southern
Europe.
