Oh.. if we're talking about how arid and semi-arid plants (cacti.. etc) will not prosper in areas that are made more tropical, I can completely concur with that. But I would suggest that in the desert areas that are not altered by re-hydration of their environment (and I'm sure many such areas will remain), they will likely thrive on the additional CO2. The Sahara desert was a savannah, and possibly semi-tropical, some 10,000 years ago. The water induced, vertical, erosion features on the back Sphinx suggest this was the case. I think it would be interesting to place various cacti in a CO2 enhanced, but humidity controlled, greenhouse and see how they perform in their native soil. Maybe I can write a multi-million dollar grant proposal and do it all in the convenience of my back yard.. lol Hawk
