Greenhouse Planet

In Greenhouse Planet, plant biologist Lewis H. Ziska examines the multifaceted impact of rising carbon dioxide levels on ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. He unpacks how increased CO2 not only boosts plant growth but also exacerbates issues like invasive species proliferation, reduced crop nutrition, and heightened wildfire risks. By challenging the oversimplified notion that "CO2 is plant food," Ziska highlights the broader implications of these changes for all life on Earth, revealing the urgent need to understand and address the complexities of our changing environment.
