photosynthesizing

Do mounds of leaves - their photosynthesizing duties done - exude some chemical odor irresistible to dogs?

Both the carbon and oxygen cycles are more complicated than Lomborg suggests, and the metaphor of photosynthesizing plants as the planet's lungs isn't that bad if you squint a bit, reverse lungs perhaps since they emit oxygen.

Maybe the effect is that we keep eating just like always, but we're also photosynthesizing, and so we GET REALLY OBESE, and just lie around as giant green lumps on lawn chairs, soaking up free sun food and doing nothing else at all.

If not for photosynthesizing plants there would be almost no free oxygen on this planet.

On the other hand, if we're all photosynthesizing, maybe that causes mass equatorial migration, so we can maximize our children's health and access to sunlight, so the sun-deprived north wages war on the equatorial zones for better sunlight territory.

Maybe because we're photosynthesizing we'll do more work outside.

Today at low tide the algae are photosynthesizing merrily.
