You are trying to change the subject. Your original claim was that the increase in biomass means an increase in pollen and that would cause cooling.

Which is a nit wit claim. On several levels. As I have shown, not all plants respond that way to CO2 levels. And you can't look at CO2 levels in isolation.

Again, if CO2 was the limiting factor in biomass production, leaf stomata would be wide open regardless of concentrations if sufficient water is available. But, as you have mentioned but apparently didn't understand, water transpiration goes down as CO2 levels go up. Which means the stomata are more closed than when levels are lower.

As to your opinions on models, you are again on the losing side. All indications are that the models have gotten very good. And yeah, droughts will be getting worse.

Your grasp of the facts is very clearly limited. As are your reasoning skills.
