Gov't Research Says Plants are Already Stopping Global Warming

New research published over the weekend by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that plants are significantly slowing global warming — far more than previously suspected.

Scientists found as carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increased worldwide, plants responded by sucking more CO2 out of the air than before. Researchers used satellite measurements of vegetation cover to determine that global rates of photosynthesis and respiration had sharply increased, largely due to the extra CO2....


..."It's a snowball effect: as CO2 levels rise in the atmosphere, photosynthetic activity flourishes and plants take in more carbon, sparking more plant growth, more photosynthesis, and more carbon uptake."

Effectively, the DOE researchers found that plant growth caused by global warming ultimately reduced temperatures by significant margins....


...Rising CO2 emissions will not cause global agriculture to collapse and could even boost agricultural yields, the study suggests.
