German Scientists: Smart as 11-year Olds

From Breitbart.com:

The dangerous rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may be troubling scientists and world leaders but it could prove to be a boon for plants, German researchers said Tuesday.

Thanks, German scientists. I learned that carbon dioxide was good for plants back in 5th grade. You see, plants breathe CO2 like humans breathe oxygen. And interestingly enough, a by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen (just like a by-product of human breathing is CO2).

According to the article, the German scientists have developed a follow-up theory that sun light and warm temperatures are good for plants as well.

I thought Germans were supposed to be good at science? Einstein was German, right?
