  1. Good news... those luvvies that can afford green energy go for it - lets face it anyone that can afford to prance around gluing themselves to the M25 have more money than sense. Some people just want to keep warm. More real jobs too.

  2. Serious reply - check the latest research from Berkley, showing that in response to elevated CO2 levels, above-ground plant growth increased an average of 21 percent, while below-ground growth increased 28 percent. This is also good for better water retention.

  3. Smells nice though.

  4.  @kimwarburton8490  I'll take your word for it but of course it's not just about food plants but general vegetation which helps with water retention, reduces soil erosion, more natural habitat, oxygen generation etc. Either way think it rather shows how the scare stories around CO2 being more political than genuine concern for the earth. We'd be much better focusing on recycling and reuse, reducing land fills and the dumping of crap in the sea from micro plastics to chemicals to household rubbish.
