[Terrapreta] Pure Organics Vs. Biological Agriculture

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Brian,

You've turned the CO2 discussion on its head.  A blither of statistics and no logic.  Maybe Terra Preta is just plain a "bad idea" , because it will reduce the amount of "amazing aerial fertilizer" that we are pumping into the air, huh?

Regards,

SKB

  Sean,

  I think there is a list of atleast 5 peer reviewed papers<http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/subject/h/summaries/co2healthpromoting.jsp> that dispute your claim. Additionally, I spent ~ a year in Birge Hall 2nd basement level with the PBR's, sometimes moving CO2 levels alone and I can absolutely tell you with 100% certainty that CO2 alone does infact increase plant growth.

    Increasing CO2 release alone does not increase plant growth.   



    I challenge you to find ANYONE who has ever published a peer reviewed article in ANY scientific journal, which reports ANY indication that increased atmospheric CO2 levels alone will promote the bigger or faster growth of any plants.  I do not believe this is possible.
    You will not find any such articles.  I believe that ANYONE with a learned experience in high school chemistry alone could argue effectively against any such proposal, Jon.


    Regards,

    SKB
