A Two-and-a-half Century Winter Temperature Reconstruction from Northern China (6 November 2020)
According to climate alarmist theory, CO2-induced global warming (if it is occurring) should be most evident in high latitude regions during winter months. So, how clear is the signal in this 249-year reconstruction of winter temperatures from northern China?...

Plant Growth Database (5 November 2020)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Multi-leaf Paris (Qiang et al., 2020). To access the entire database, click here.

A CO2-induced Influence on Aphid Life Parameters (4 November 2020)
Elevated CO2 reduced the development time, fecundity and fertility of Bemisia tabaci feeding on Bt soybean plants...

Plant Growth Database (3 November 2020)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Cassava (Forbes et al., 2020). To access the entire database, click here.

The Combined Impact of Warming and CO2 on Peatland Fine-root Growth (2 November 2020)
Rising temperatures led to a strong negative feedback in the carbon cycle where fine-root production increased at a rate of 130% for every degree increase in temperature. Such observations indicate the long-held contention of climate alarmists that warming of peatlands is likely to amplify global temperature by releasing vast amounts of carbon stored in their soils is incorrect...

The Impact of Elevated CO2 on a Key Antioxidant in Lettuce (30 October 2020)
Chlorogenic acid, a "strong antioxidant that potentially reduces oxidative damage in human cells," was found to strongly increase in lettuce in response to higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations...

Plant Growth Database (29 October 2020)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Fenugreek (Hozzein et al., 2020). To access the entire database, click here.
The Response of Juvenile Pink Salmon to Ocean Acidification (28 October 2020)
No physiological impairment of this important fish species was observed to result from higher levels of pCO2, alone or in combination with the additional stresses of hypoxia and temperature...

Plant Growth Database (27 October 2020)
Our latest result of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature is for Swiss Chard (Singh et al., 2020). To access the entire database, click here.

Investigating Plant-herbivore Interactions Under Drought and Heat Stress (26 October 2020)
A new study reveals plant defenses against an aphid herbivore are strengthened in response to these two abiotic stresses, which stresses also act to reduce key life-related parameters in the aphid, suggesting "fewer resources will need to be dedicated to remediating aphid infestations of wheat"...

Temperature-related Excess Mortality in Twelve German Cities (23 October 2020)
Once again, rigorous analysis of real-world data reveal cold temperatures are much greater a threat to human mortality than warm temperatures. In this study deaths attributed to cold weather were nearly seven times that attributed to hot weather!...

Plant Growth Database (22 October 2020)

Impacts of CO2 on Two Grapevine Cultivars (21 October 2020)
A mere 80 ppm increase in CO2 during daylight hours was sufficient to increase the berry weight of the two cultivars by 17-21% without any sacrifice to berry quality...

Plant Growth Database (20 October 2020)

A CO2-induced Amelioration of Temperature Stress on Potato Yields (19 October 2020)
Elevated temperatures (2°C above ambient throughout the growing season) reduced potato yields by 29%. The growth-enhancing effects of elevated atmospheric CO2, when added to the elevated temperature treatment, however, were significant enough to totally ameliorate the growth retarding influence of temperature stress and increase yields by 13% relative to control conditions...
