A Half-century Increase in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production Driven Primarily by Rising Atmospheric CO2 (31 August 2017)
How ironic it is, that the supposed chief culprit behind the many real (and imagined) assaults on Earth's vegetation -- rising atmospheric CO2 -- has been found to be the primary cause of a half-century-long observed increase in global terrestrial net primary production!...

Another Reason to Reject Wind Farms (29 August 2017)
Results of a new study provide yet another reason to question the wisdom of policy makers who are seemingly rushing to install more and more of these bird-killing, noise-polluting, eyesore-viewing, cost-prohibiting and vegetative-decreasing low power producing energy sources...
