		<description><![CDATA[Lawrence Solomon, author of the book &#8220;The Denialists&#8221;, is a name that hits a nerve among global warming alarmists. No wonder, his article in &#8220;The Financial Post&#8221; earned some criticisms. Let&#8217;s go to the source of Solomon&#8217;s &#8220;praise of CO2&#8243; resulting in a boom in the biosphere (net primary production NPP) and &#8211; big surprise &#8211; another name hits a nerve albeit in the opposite camp: Charles D. Keeling! Solomon has taken a lot of his information from a paper as published in &#8220;Science&#8221;, volume 300, on June 6, 2003: Climate-Driven Increases in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 1982 to 1999 (Ramakrishna R. Nemani, Charles D. Keeling, Hirofumi Hashimoto, William M. Jolly, Stephen C. Piper, Compton J. Tucker, Ranga B. Myneni, Steven W. Running) What is the message all about? Is this booming biosphere really the result of CO2 fertilization? This is what the abstract says: Recent climatic changes have enhanced plant growth in northern mid-latitudes and high latitudes. However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of global climatic changes on vegetation productivity has not before been expressed in the context of variable limiting factors to plant growth. We present a global investigation of vegetation responses to climatic changes [...]]]></description>
