"There's a big range of very powerful interactions in nature," says Chris Field, director of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution at Stanford University. "It's very risky to make strong projections based on single-factor explanations." (See TIME's complete coverage of the Copenhagen climate conference...
Beyond that, says David Lobell, a Stanford colleague of Field's and his co-author on a major 2007 review of how plants and climate interact, "while there's pretty clear evidence that CO2 helps plants, there's plenty of debate about how much it helps." One reason is that plants depend not only on carbon dioxide for healthy growth, but also on water and other nutrients. Increase CO2 without increasing the other factors, and you can get plants that are bigger, but relatively deficient in, say, nitrogen - meaning insects may have to eat more of each plant to stay...

With the apparent deficit, The Daily then applied...
