I wish I knew where the article was at. But basically it was this.... Somewhere in China in the middle of nowhere in a vast wasteland is a factory that produces more CO2 than just about any other thing on earth. Around the factory it's lush and green. It's in the desert somewhere.

Around the factory it's lush and green. It's in the desert somewhere.

Right, because the thing holding back the deserts from blooming with lush, green growth is not lack of water, or the searing temperatures during the day, or the freezing temperatures during the night, or the nutrient-poor sandy and rocky ground lacking good rich soil, but the lack of CO2.

Sounds perfectly plausible to me! I also believe that trans women are women, that the BLM riots were completely peaceful, and that the Covid pandemic started from people eating bat soup.

Well I couldn't tell you with any certainty as I'm not a scientist.... I can't even confirm for a certainty that the tube worms they say they discovered living around volcanic vents... That survive completely outside of the conventional food chain... You know in water that would be steam if it were in the atmosphere.... Completely devoid of sunlight , Getting their nutrients directly from minerals coming out of the vent.... Again, so hot that it would flash into steam in the atmosphere... Actually exist. I only know what I read.

They were probably lying about the microbes they discovered living deep in the earth that eat Rock as well...

Thanks for clearing it up.

-sigh-

You don't need to be a scientist. You just need to have some, any, experience with growing plants. Maybe that's hard if you live in a big city in an apartment, but surely you know somebody who is a gardener, or grows hydroponics, or you've even seen a movie about farmers struggling with droughts and floods?

Getting a small patch of the desert to bloom is not hard. Normally all you need is water. That's what happens at an oasis. What's implausible is that it is CO2 emissions from a factory that is responsible.
