New Report: Rising CO2 Levels Boost Crop Yields, Defying Biased Climate Models
by Kenneth Richard  Feb 19, 2025

It turns out the benefits of rising CO2 concentrations offset any projected agricultural damage from climate warming. [emphasis, links added]

In 2023, US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) activists dubiously raised the “social cost of carbon” (SCC) five-fold due to unsupportable forecasts of agricultural deterioration and declining crop yields resulting from doubled CO2 and consequent climate warming.


The 500% SCC hike was based on a biased negative model that neglected the significantly positive crop yield benefits of rising CO2 concentrations.

The analysis the EPA relied upon for its dubious accounting was found in modeling papers (Moore et al., 2017 and Challinor et al., 2014) that tendentiously neglected multivariate factors in agricultural processes (e.g., precipitation changes, atmospheric CO2 changes, water-use efficiency, adaptation, technology…) and primarily focused on an assumed negative effect from a warming climate.

The question has to be asked, is this result because of Trump's election, or unaffected by it?  CO2 reports like this weren't exactly common under Biden. :pondering:

If you are worried about CO2, plant some g'damned trees.

Trees capture carbon and photosynthesis processes CO2 into O2.

Tree are also productive economic engines - fruit, nuts, lumber, firewood, etc.

Leave me the F alone, you neurotic enviro-whacko's.
