On: Too Much CO2 Has an Unnerving Effect on the World's Trees, New Study Finds

A friend of mine some years ago, who is a civil engineer now, at the time a student was telling me that timber is getting less and less reliable as a building material. At the time we thought this was about how it was harvested. Which to some degree I guess it kind of is, but the CO2 causing overgrowth and less strength makes a ton of sense.

I hope we switch to concrete and brick like the rest of the world. To pay a million dollars for a glorified wooden shed is undignified.
