<<Is plant life decreasing?>> Yes, we're losing 7.3 million hectares globally per year.....3.1 million of that from the Amazon in Brazil. rainforests.mongabay.com <<If CO2 is not implicated in GW, then it makes no sense to try to reduce its levels in the atmosphere, as it's perfectly harmless>> Hey congratulations on your elevation to "authority" status on global warming and climate change. Call me skeptical but..... The majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is primarily caused by human activities such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The conclusion that global warming is mainly caused by human activity and will continue if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced has been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. en.wikipedia.org Yet here in the US..... The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Joint Science Academies of the major industrialized and developing nations explicitly use the word "consensus" when referring to this conclusion. Why do you think there is such a difference between us and the rest of the major industrialized countries???

You, however, are listening to the janitor telling you "Cool; here's a bucket. If it is true you can paint the side of a barn with a thimble full of blood, we can paint the town red." Your internist, surgeon, and 2 radiologists tell you you have a spot on your lung. You tell them the dietary worker told you it was but a piece of spaghetti on the lens.
