Atmospheric CO2 fertilizes plants. Higher CO2 enables plants to grow faster and larger and to live in drier climates. Plants provide food for animals, which are thereby also enhanced. The extent and diversity of plant and animal life have both increased substantially during the past half-century. Increased temperature has also mildly stimulated plant growth. … The empirical evidence – actual measurements of Earth’s temperature and climate – shows no man-made warming trend. … The temperature of the Earth is continuing its process of fluctuation in correlation with variations in natural phenomena.
