This research beautifully destroys one foundation of the catastrophists fantasies: That an increase in temperature will reduce the photosynthetic capabilities of vegetation severely, leading to a much higher accumulation of CO2.
Now they have two possibilities: Admit that catastrophic warming isnt likely, or find a different candidate mechanism for the catastrophic scenario.
(Im using the term catastrophist to distinguish believers in catastrophic warming from moderate warmers. Which brings us to the interesting question of where western governments Merkel et.al. stand on this issue. Even though Merkel might go the way of the Brown sometime soon now.)
This hypothesis has been challenged and de-bunked by many here on FR and other leading non-AGW believing scientists.
I'm calling out the Viking kitties..:=)
