Modeling Extreme Precipitation in the Tropics: How well do current state-of-the-art climate models perform in this regard?

Subject Index Summary
Growth Response to CO2 with Other Variables (Water Stress: Agricultural Crops): As the CO2 content of the air continues to rise, nearly all of earth's plants will exhibit increases in photosynthesis and biomass production; but climate alarmists periodically claim that water stress will negate these benefits. Therefore, to determine if this claim has any validity, we here review and summarize the results of several CO2-enrichment studies designed to reveal the net effect of elevated CO2 and concomitant water stress on the growth of various food crops.
