More Evidence That Rising CO2 Concentrations May Be Causing "Biological Spring" to Occur Days Earlier Than in Decades Past: Climate alarmists would have one believe that only rising temperatures could cause the annual commencement of plant photosynthetic activity (and the animal activity that accompanies it) to begin increasingly earlier with each passing year.  However, two new studies add to the evidence that direct physiological effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment may play a role in this phenomenon as well.
