Hi there, I saw this on ABC Online and thought you might be interested:

Catalyst: Toxic Crops - ABC TV Science
http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2891924.htm
As carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere some of our
food crops will respond by becoming less nutritious and produce more toxins
Paul MacRae


Ah so.. So that is where it came from.  ABC TV is a highly non credible source
and the contentions are totally unquantified. In other words at what levels
of Co2 (ppm) and at what percentage of the mentioned chemicals?

For every Co2 hysterical web site or youtube video there are ten that
dispute the dire predictions. The NASA satellite measurements are
the most comprehensive and accurate and it has only been up
since 2002.

Making linear extrapolations in any category, nature or otherwise, is
ludicrous as there are always feed back mechanism in play. More Co2
larger or more plants and hence more Co2 is absorbed.

BTW
As you may recall the global warming alarmist Al Gore maintained
that if the Greenland ice cap melted half of Florida would
be under water. I was skeptical of that conclusion as I doubted
Greenland was a pyramid shaped island and all the melt water
would wind up in the ocean.

This is a  topographic map of_Greenland_bedrock from:

Big surprise. Notice the land locked lake surrounded by land at least
50 meters (150 feet) high. No doubt the lake level would rise.

"About 81% of Greenland's surface is covered by the Greenland
ice sheet. The weight of the ice has depressed the central
land area into a basin shape, whose base lies more than
300 metres (984 ft) below the surrounding ocean. Elevations
rise suddenly and steeply near the coast."

I recall back in the late 90s when the feminist PC Fascists took over
at the nasa channel on all thing ENVIRO. Suddenly, all of the dissenting
voices from universities around the world were refused the liberty to
speak out about the skewed data being presented by the hysterics from
the warming crowd.
The new phrase from the ENVIRO seminaries ran something like this:
"All scientists agree, there are no dissenters"

Due to the simultaneous, and rapid expansion of internet usage at
that time and now, the ENVIRO seminaries are loosing out. Hence,
the roar from the RED/GREEN coalition has gotten louder through
their primary television outlets, one of which is referenced above
from the alphabet channel.

The environment has become the excuse of choice to implement
socialism.

Here is the method the economic morons redistribution of wealth crowd uses.

"If it is not broken (and it is not) invent a way to break it."

Once must be a moron to think working tax payers will continue to
work and pay taxes if well over half of what they make is confiscated
and given to those that don't work.

I agree Paul, but regrettably, it seems to continue to happen.  Truly disappointing.

All the best,
