A Startling New Discovery Could Destroy All Those Global Warming Doomsday Forecasts |
2018-04-10 |
Climate Change: Scientists just discovered a massive, heretofore unknown, source of nitrogen. Why does this matter? Because it could dramatically change those dire global warming forecasts that everybody claims are based on "settled science." Only those with power or grant money do The researchers, whose findings were published in the prestigious journal Science, say they've determined that the idea that the only source of nitrogen for plant life came from the air is wrong. There are vast storehouses in the planet's bedrock that plants also feed on. This is potentially huge news, since what it means is that there is a vastly larger supply of nitrogen than previously believed. |

#9 Yes, the plants get it from dirt...and fertilizer. This is why plants only grow in good dirt, instead of just everywhere...thinking more on it, haven't we always known this? |

#8 This NPR article is a bit more informative. The nitrogen is in sedimentary rock. Nitrogen in the atmosphere is unavailable to plants, it's pretty inert. Nitrogen fixation is needed, which can be by bacteria or, in lesser amounts, from lightning. |

#6 This kind of thing is why they are so funny. Especially the look when you ask them, "You DO understand how science actually works right? You took hard science classes in college?" *blink* "No?" |

#5 They'll try to bury the evidence. |

#4 tree roots are, in large part, fracking devices so this N theory seems to make some sense |

#3 It's commonly known among farmers that planting clover enriches the soil with nitrogen. |
