Academics: Global Warming Created So Many New Plants They Made Earth Colder

[Free Vulcan]

Global warming is spurring so much plant growth that some parts of Earth are starting to cool, according to study released Thursday by Ghent University.

The study concluded that rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing an increase in plant life, which generally has a moderate cooling impact on the local climate.

In warm areas, CO2 emissions increase the amount of leaf cover, leading to localized cooling. Cooler places see the opposite, with temperatures rising slightly since less sunlight is being reflected back from the surface from increased leaf coverage.

In total, researchers say that these effects have mitigated global warming by roughly 14 percent...

I do not recall any of this plant life asking the Scientific Consensus if the effect of their growth would be cooling. Global warming is scientific consensus, and the consensus can't be disputed with new facts and findings.

C'mon, let's be fair. It wasn't global warming, it was enhanced CO2 in the atmosphere. Unlike global warming, the science behind this is completely sound. Lots of experiments have show, plants grow more with increased CO2.
