What they seem to be saying is that we have to attack pollution smartly---that attacking only some kinds of pollution while leaving others could be worse than doing nothing.

Plant life seemed to get by pretty fine before human industrialisation (which I think happened about 160 years ago) so I really don't see how this "study" makes any sense at all.

Think again

I don't see what's so confusing. We have two kinds of pollutants, A and B. Both are bad. However, A without B is worse than both, so we just have to make sure we clean up A faster than we clean up B.

That's a simplification, but it's less of one that "OMG get rid of A and B", which is what the view was prior to the study.

Hmmm. I "C"

A major scientific review released last week at the United Nations showed that warming is itself limiting the capacity of plants to take up CO2, and that an increase in two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) would transform forests from a sink into a net source of CO2.


When plants die, the carbon they store is released into the air.

More people trying to predict the future...

I'm not concerned with dying plants releasing CO2. The living plants will soak it up and re-use it for themselves.

Common sense and logic are not conducive to the Global Alarmist BS. It's all an economic con-game that people are slowly catching on to.

Nonsense.

When plants die, their stored carbon is released into the air. If more plants are dying then the living plants have the capacity to absorb, the net effect is an increase in CO2.

In addition to all the archaic CO2 released by burning fossil fuels.

The real solution is genetically engineering future generations of humans to breathe in CO2, rather than trying to decrease CO2 emissions. Make pollution work for us!
