The “CO2 is plant food” myth survives because it’s a convenient lie, not because it’s true. @andrewdessler.com

There is another common myth:
"Cows eat food that we couldn't eat ourselves" 🙃
Or, do we all recall the old one, "cows don't need to be pregnant to produce milk"?

I took a "plant science" course in college in 1979
And we were taught that CO2 is often a limiting nutrient, esp for well fertilized and water crops
And that Corn was a fav crop cause it uses "C4 photosynthesis" which is more efficient
Is that not true

It's easy for simple, uneducated minds to cling to, but it drives me nuts when I hear it.
