The Earth is greening, thanks to elevated CO2 -- especially in arid

Rising CO2 levels mitigate drought impacts. Elevated CO2 (eCO2) helps plants use water more efficiently, by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. It's especially helpful in arid regions & during drought. Here's a paper about corn:https://t.co/lZ0wL4Gnvn

Plus, elevated CO2 is VERY beneficial for agriculture — a fact known to science for >100 years.

Ending famine is a VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war and disease. Compare:

\u25cf 1918 flu pandemic killed 2% of world population.
\u25cf WWII killed 2.7% of world population.
\u25cf The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed 3.7% of world population.

The imagined major harms of manmade climate change simply are not happening. For instance, sea-level trends haven't changed significantly since the 1920s.https://t.co/cUTnRhnLnQ

The major harms are all merely hypothetical (& mostly implausible). The benefits are real, measured & very large.

Below I am adding to the list including several newly documented mechanisms.

Several primary impacts relate to altered soil & plant chemistry & biology:
1. Disruption of the phosphorous cycle - the second most vital element for plants after nitrogen
2. Decreased content of key nutrients in major
3. Reduced chill hours required for many plants to bloom normally in the
Other additional primary impacts include:
4. Fossil fuel pollution impacts on crops - this is not a result of climate change per se, but is included since it is due to the same root cause (fossil fuel use):

On September 28, 2016, an unprecedented tropical storm progressed rapidly across South Australia. Truly - this thing was unusual. The sky folded in on itself. It tore towns to bits.
Australia's @climatecouncil pointed out that the storm was so unusual at least partly due to the influence of climate change, and that this is due to get worse.

I'm going to use brief snippets from my book to fill this out! The storm's primary impact on the grid was the destruction of several major transmission lines. When I say destruction - I mean they snapped like twigs.
Here's what happened in the following seconds:
- A voltage spike from the line falls
- Wind turbines automatically shut off due to software settings that trigger shutdown during a spike
- The interconnector to Vic tried to compensate, failed and died
- All of SA blacked out
