Not true.

Just one example; we clearly don't know enough yet to say what impact elevated CO2 will have on ecosystems.

Your articles were interesting and they do add to our data base, but obviously further study is required. I would like to see the above research replicated and verified independently, not just reviewed. You are right, "we clearly don't know enough." I do find it interesting that with the elevated CO 2 today we see none of the negative effects alarmists have warned us about.
