N2 is not a GHG and is 80% of the atmospheric gases. It’s not limited. Some plants can’t fix nitrogen and rely on bacteria to do it. Plants aren’t the only CO2 sink. The Oceans are. There’s no relationship here. Pretty stoopid article, waste of bandwidth oversimplification reaching stoopid political conclusions.

Get off of my thread, we don’t want FatRumpers here. You make me sick.

" the dire forecasts that we have 12 years to live being championed by AOC and the Democrats are completely inaccurate. "
We have 12 years to cut emissions by 40-50% if we are gonna keep the increase below 1.5 degrees C. Then we have to get emissions to zero by 2050.

"The planet won’t warm as much with plant life absorbing the CO2 mankind pumps into the atmosphere."
Plants and the oceans both began absorbing fossil carbon the day we began burning it. Here's how that's going. They began falling behind our production about the time of the Civil War.
