I looked at the abstracts of those three documents and did not see
support for your statement. Certainly there have been changes in
the atmospheric CO2 in past thousands of years. But that is not the
essence of what is being stated, which is:<br>
<br>
A living plant takes in CO2, grows, dies and CO2 eventually goes
back into the atmosphere (allowing for delays while the root rot, or
for geologic time for formation of fossil fuels, etc., which is not
what is being discussed).<br>
<br>
For me, this specific topic is concluded.<br>
