You're postulations aren't worth squat.... EE Degree and ability to build fancy filters and oscilators doesn't qualify you for any sort of expertise in Plant Biology. Of course, T Watson the Geek (i.e. a "know-it-all" with no social skills), thinks she knows all. One other thing, more importantly is the high probability (if business continues as usual) of the collapse of the Amazon Rain Forest (Oh No! Not that again!). This would further hasten GW as a result of the massive release of CO2 from decaying vegitation. The problem is that the rain forest plants create the local rain climate through transpiration. The rate of transpiration is decreased when CO2 levels increase (as plant's need to open their pores to absorb CO2 decreases) and the amount of local precipitation decreases substantially.
