1/5. If you learn about agronomy from climate-activist journalists, instead of agronomists, you're sure to be misled. Author Eleanor McCrary @ellie_mccrary apparently started from a 2018 disinformation piece by freelance journalist Annie Sneed @aisneed.
The Sneed article is entitled "Ask the Experts…" and the McCrary article is entitled "…Experts Say." Yet both of those journalists are so clueless about their topic that neither of them even knew who the "experts" were to ask! For their articles about agronomy, neither author spoke to a single agronomist!!

2/5. The result is that both articles are full of false information.
My hypothes⋅is annotation of the Sneed article has a detailed, point-by-point critique of the major mistakes in it:

3/5. Agronomists have conducted THOUSANDS of rigorous studies, measuring the benefits of elevated CO2 (eCO2) for crops. All major crops benefit from eCO2, most of them dramatically.

It's long-settled science. In fact, the benefits of eCO2 for crops have been known to science for >100 yrs.

@Jeppespip @MatthewWielicki @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE @ellie_mccrary @aisneed 4/5. There is no downside to eCO2 for agriculture. None whatsoever. It is entirely beneficial.

5/5. If you think CO2 emissions and rising CO2 levels are harmful, you've been deceived. They are clearly beneficial.
To understand #ClimateChange (or any other politicized or contentious topic), you need balanced information. I'm here to help:
