All of us engage in activities that involve burning fossil fuels, and according to some self-proclaimed environmentalists we should feel guilty doing so due to the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) which can lead to ever-dreaded global warming. However, the botanical literature is full of 1,000s of articles showing that elevated atmospheric concentrations of CO2 will be beneficial for plants throughout the world… . We see the forest and we see the trees, and they both thank us for the CO2 we’re adding to the atmosphere… .So drive out to the forest and feel good about the CO2 coming out of your tailpipe!
