Is there nothing that anthropogenic global warming doesn’t cause?
Many tree species in Israel, North America and Eurasia that depend on the wind to disperse their seeds may be at risk of extinction, according to researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Their theory is based on a unique, fully mechanistic model developed to predict trends in plant spread and is reportedly the first to consider how projected changes in biological and environmental factors would impact tree spread in future environments.
Climate changes, which can be sensed already today and which are expected to continue in the next half century include the increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the air and a reduction of surface wind speed in many areas.
On the basis of earlier work, higher concentrations of carbon dioxide are expected to cause trees to produce many more seeds and to reach maturity earlier than under current conditions, hence speeding up their spread.
On the other hand, the weakening of wind speed in certain areas should reduce spread rate of these trees.
See, AGW causes faster winds, slower winds, no wind, hurricanes, tornadoes, no tornadoes and hurricanes, you name it, it causes it. And all because…..Little Miss Attila doesn’t purchase carbon offsets for her jet setting lifestyle!

“Climate changes, which can be sensed already today”…. SENSED how very scientific.
I hear it’s causing ED in DC.
Wait… so global climate “disruption” will cause more violent storms, but also no winds at all!?!?!?
My head hurts.
It will cause more storms and Less storms.
It will cause more droughts and More floods.
It will cause more snow storms and Milder Winters.
It will cause reduced ocean transport and greater mixing.
It will cause increased plant growth but reduced plant growth.
Like you said, is there nothing it won’t do?
Yeah, it won’t cause deficit reduction if the Left has its way!
Don’t be too sure. I’m sure there is some way the alarmists can link AGW to deficit reduction.
Doesn’t it have something to do with Kevin Bacon and penguins dying in the cold?
I think so. Something like a guy tags a penguin which then dies of cold because the tag interferes with it’s feathers keeping it warm, the penguin is found floating by a scientist, who then freezes it, gives it to a pilot to fly to the mainland, who gives it to his brother who owns a restaurant, the chef cooks it up, and serves it to Kevin Bacon!
You rock sir!!
