I think any ideas of inherited titles are outdated nonsense but so is this story. It's just a representation of the existing arms.
My question here, is that if - as he states, that plant life starts to die at 0.2%, and we're currently at 0.4%, wouldn't it stand to reason that a small raise could also cause problems ?
What is normal range for CO2 in plants? A plant can perfectly tolerate levels between 1500 and 2500 ppm, in practice levels do not usually even reach 900 or 1000 ppm. In all the biological machinery involved in the exploitation of the air's carbon, one of the most important enzymes is rubisco which is combined with CO2 to activate sugar formation. Are higher CO2 levels good for plants? Green plants grow faster with more CO2. Many also become more drought- resistant because higher CO2 levels allow plants to use water more efficiently. More abundant vegetation from increased CO2 is already apparent.
They've got to be able pay jug ears somehow. Maybe he's getting a rise as compensation for the horrific ordeal he's been subjected to The BBC should be defunded anyway, scrap the licence fee. It's archaic and I resent paying it.
I couldn't tell whether whoever posted that originally was trying to take the piss but the comments summed it up perfectly Innocent, carefree times.
