Apparently, in high CO2 environments, weeds grow faster, bigger, stronger than food crops and grazing grasses...
Developing techniques for managing weeds in a time of global climate change
will be essential to the world’s agricultural future, and the U.S.D.A.
researchers, though they have been starved of essential financing, lead the
world in this field. (There is one exception, Ziska admits; his Web searches
have revealed that marijuana growers have an amazingly detailed knowledge of how
CO2 enrichment affects their crop. But as Ziska points out, they don’t publish
in scientific journals.) Possession of this expertise could be a great economic
asset to the United States, both for the protection it could provide to our own
harvests and as an intellectual export that is sure to be much in demand in
other countries.
