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.<<
