Hey guys i need your help. The question thing is below. I'm not cheating and stuff. It's part of the extremely long extra credit. He gave us several articles we had to read and there wasn't any information on it. I need this extra credit. I've been working on it for five hours straight so if you guys could please help me with this one little question I would appreciate it.

List two examples of how global warming is affecting plant-life. Explain the specific details on how the species of plant is being affected and either
1) what has or can be done to help the plant
OR
2) how the plant is adapting to global warming.
thanks miles, but i wasn't looking for feedback. I was looking for an answer.
 
its a fraud, Gods in control of the earth not scientists the earth is going to be consumed in flames at the end of times so whats the point of breaking your back trying to save it??
 
okay, i've done a lot of research on this and i'm guessing you want an actual answer. CO2 is indeed needed by plants, they take it in and make it into oxygen. Plants need the O2 to breath but they make an excess of it and we get the benefits of that. However, CO2 is like vitamins for us, we need them but if i took a ton of straight B 12, i would get very sick/die. Same with plants, to much CO2 and the plants can't handle it and starts to get sick and then dies. You can actually see this starting to happen around the world and if trends of CO2 rising continue, plants might not make it much longer.
 
We haven't warmed in the last 10 years so I will give two examples that are related to increased CO2.

Plants get CO2 for use in photosynthesis by opening little holes called stomata on the leaves. Opening them allows gasses to be exchanged but water gets lost. The increased CO2 allows the plant to get the CO2 without losing as much water. Plants are therefore much more drought resistant.

The only way to get funding is find bad consequences of global warming. They simply don't fund you unless you have something bad to report. Since they couldn't make a negative out of increased crop yields or efficiency, they had to do a study saying that poison ivy is spreading because of global warming. Since it isn't actually warming, they had to change the name of it to climate change.
