Subject: Forests that live fast and die young, may help speed up climate change

Bang goes the deniers excuse that more co2 acts as a fertilizer that will benefit the world.

>>As human activity continually pumps carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the Earth is doing its damnedest to stash it all away, in the oceans and forests. But new research led by the University of Cambridge has found that forests may not be as useful a carbon sink as we thought. The team found that a warming climate makes trees grow faster and die younger, releasing their captured carbon back into the air sooner.

One of the most common arguments against the dangers of climate change is that more CO2 in the air is good for plants, which capture the gas and store it in their cells. That’s true to an extent – young trees have been found to grow faster as temperatures warm up and there’s more carbon dioxide in the air. It’s been thought that greening the Earth with more trees could help offset some of the increases in CO2 emissions, but the new study shows that this might not work out as well as we’d have hoped.<<

Deniers have never been very good with real science, apparently it conflicts with their child-like ideology.

Don’t let it stop the planting of trees though.
As an aside, the exttra CO2 will make the cannabis stronger.

We’ve known the plants are fcked if it gets hot and full of CO2 for quite some time.

“By calculating photosynthesis on the basis of the kinetics of Rubisco and the amount of active enzyme in the leaf, the authors have shown that, under both high temperature and high CO2, photosynthesis was constrained by the activity of Rubisco activase.”

Perhaps we will kill off all land and sea plant life and run out of oxygen

Not all of it I imagine, but what if we did end up with a Bladerunner world were everything is dead except humans

Noodles have a pact with nature, inasmuch noodles need nature. So the noodles he is eating must have been made from ingredients that were grown before everything except humans died. Therefore just a matter of time before the bladerunners follow suit.
