Global Warming Ch-Ch-Chills Eastern US; Global Warming Freezes More Ice On Great Lakes Than Ever Before In All of Recorded History
And there's more Global Warming on the way!
One of the coldest Februaries ever.
And the Great Lakes more clotted with more ice than at any point in all of recorded history.
So much Global Warming. And another blast of it coming next week.
Incidentally (this is from last October) leaves may absorb far more CO2 than the Sacred Global Warming Models assume.
Global warming may not be damaging the Earth as quickly as feared after scientists found that plants can soak up more carbon dioxide than previously thought.
According to researchers, climate models have failed to take into account that when carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, plants thrive, become larger, and are able to absorb more CO2.
As part of the carbon cycle, plants use light to photosynthesise carbon dioxide, turning it into carbohydrate to grow and releasing oxygen as a waste product.
Now a team at Wyoming University has found that carbon dioxide stays in leaves longer than previously thought, acting as a fertiliser and accelerating plant growth.
"The terrestrial biosphere may absorb more CO2 than previously thought, said lead author Professor Ying Sun, of Wyoming University.
The scientists say it explains why levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are not rising as quickly as models predict.
The team estimates that climate scientists have underestimated the ability of plants to grow and absorb carbon dioxide by as much as 16 per cent.
Sure you get everything wrong, but I say we just obey the living shit out of everything you say, anyway.
