Do you have anything from a more mainstream site? Alternet reality is a unique one. It seems separated from real reality.

My comments:

RE: "Things may grow faster in a warm climate, but not if there is no water."

I do not understand the mechanism for freeing enough water to raise water levels 2 to 20 feet in a century while making less water available. Of course desalination would be easier due to dilution. My intuition would be that adding more liquid water would make more liquid and or gaseous water available.

RE: "Planet of the Plants"

Regardless of the source, it seems intuitive that if you accelerate growth there would be a dilution of nutrients. It is something I had not thought about and I appreciate you putting it back in front of me.
