"CO2 is pumped into greenhouses to help stimulate plant growth." So are temperature, light, and water. Greenhouses are closed environments, with all variables controlled. In the real world, variables vary. All that extra CO2 didn't help farmers here during our drought. Drought costs California agriculture $1.84B and and 10,100 jobs in 2015 = key findings of the drought’s effects in 2014: Direct costs to agriculture total $1.5 billion (revenue losses of $1 billion and $0.5 billion in additional pumping costs). This net revenue loss is about 3 percent of the state’s total agricultural value. The total statewide economic cost of the 2014 drought is $2.2 billion. The loss of 17,100 seasonal and part-time jobs related to agriculture represents 3.8 percent of farm unemployment. 428,000 acres, or 5 percent, of irrigated cropland is going out of production in the Central Valley, Central Coast and Southern California due to the drought. The Central Valley is hardest hit, particularly the Tulare Basin, with projected losses of $800 million in crop revenue and $447 million in additional well-pumping costs. ucdavis.edu
