The effect of additional CO2 on Narrowheart Lovegrass

24 Sep 2025 | Science Notes

From the CO2Science archive: Last week we told you about Weeping Lovegrass, which was brought from South Africa to North America where it thrives as a hardy groundcover. Maybe it’s weeping for its cousin Eragrostis racemosa (Thumb.) Stend. or Narrowheart Lovegrass which was left behind and remains a South African native grass. But while pining at home, this lovegrass also loves extra CO2. In 2001 there were six experiments showing that an additional 300 ppm CO2 boosted plant growth an average of 11.7 percent. So don’t be narrow minded concerning CO2.

  1. Your news letter is outstanding in its field, as opposed to the climate change morons that are out standing in a field looking for proof on impending doom. The use of provable data and historic facts along with just the right amount of humor and sarcasm suits me to a tee. Looking forward to the new documentary film. By the way, I'm certain you followed President Trumps speech at the U.N. yesterday where he scorched the entire assembly for boarding the "Climate Disaster Train" and heading off, full speed ahead, to economic ruin and folly. That's my man. I wish he would throw the bums out of New York and let them eat cake in Paris. Keep up the good works.

  2. Timothy, I too like facts and reasoning sprinkled with wit and good humour. I think John is so successful with the sarcasm because he finds just the right word, but I often have to look up in the dictionary, but it’s often the best part of his comments on the AGW climate alarmists outrageous twisting facts to fit their narrative.

    Interesting, with regards to President Trump at the United Nations, most of the media reports I heard here in Canada where about the escalator and teleprompter not working, rather than his warning that if the western world actually continues to implement their Net Zero policies, their citizens, especially the poor, will pay the price, and the developing world will be the dominant economic player, replacing the virtue signalling “ developed” world as thedominant countries.
