Ok, so more CO2 causes only "bad" plants to grow bigger? Hmmm... Last time I checked, an increase in CO2 boosts growth in all plants, does it not? Wonder why the article doesn't mention that food crops are growing bigger, tastier fruit? Perhaps a little scare-mongering going on in this article?

Be careful ,there G.E... This is the post-global warming strain of Poison Ivy. Very potent stuff, man. This is nothing like the posion ivy you and your parents *ran into* when you were youths back in the 60's through the 90's..
