About this product

The veteran plant biologist Lewis H. Ziska confronts the claim that "CO2 is plant food," showing why it is deeply misleading.

Ziska draws attention to an often overlooked world-threatening problem--that carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are changing a fundamental parameter of global plant growth. A fascinating and important book., Anyone interested in how the plants we depend on for life are changing must read Greenhouse Planet . A witty yet deeply concerning story about how increasing carbon dioxide is altering our food, drugs, and ecosystems, yet we are failing to investigate what this all means to the basis of life and our future., Impressively well written, organized and presented for readers with an interest in the effects of Climate Change on horticulture and botony. Detail[s] essential environmental and horticultural science with wit and clarity., Ziska draws attention to an often overlooked world-threatening problem - that carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels is changing a fundamental parameter of global plant growth. A fascinating and important book., Greenhouse Planet is not just another book about climate change. Ziska unpacks the science and politics of the climate-denying mantra that carbon dioxide feeds plants and greens the planet. More poisonous poison ivy, creeping kudzu, super weeds, and protein-deprived bees are some of the nuances that shatter the simplistic talking point. Fun to read and completely accessible, this book will help both scientists and nonscientists deepen their knowledge about the far-ranging effects of our changing atmosphere on the plants that underpin our very survival., This is an exceptionally important and readable book. Ziska's writing is clear, personal, and expressive. Read his book., Biologist Ziska separates fact from fiction in this impassioned take on carbon dioxide's 'fundamental importance and existential consequences' for plantlife. Climate activists will savor this rebuttal to bunk science., Greenhouse Planet is an indispensable book for all readers interested in the ripple effects of increasing CO2., The idea that more carbon dioxide will "green the world" has been endlessly promoted by the fossil fuel industry and its friends. But as Ziska demonstrates in a straightforward and understandable fashion, this is by no means a slam-dunk good thing; in fact, the implications may turn out to be almost as devastating as the rise in temperatures that come with CO2. Oh, and he also provides a fascinating reflection on the stupefying politicization of modern science. On every count this is a crucial little book.
