    Meanwhile actual science shows that increased carbon dioxide has resulted in more plant life. Which is exactly what you’d expect given the basic biochemistry of how CO2 works in nature.

    So this comic, showing a treeless wasteland resulting from climate change, is unscientific in its depiction of the effects.

        “Enough” new plants for what? The new plants are a result of increased carbon dioxide levels. Carbon dioxide is basically an atmospheric fertilizer.

        What do you mean by “enough” here?

          Irregular weather means irritate food. I’m a farmer and am already feeling that.

          Raising sea levels means docks will be too low and important trade slows down. Countries that rely on food imports will feel the squeeze.
