Plants Effect Global Warming

University of Florida researchers finds that Northern Ecosystems excel global warming. The study shows how vegetation and plants work together and how they may alter the climate. Findings indicate that carbon dioxide released from plants has the ability to further increase global warming. Professor Michelle Mack, one of the lead researchers on the study says plants decomposition can have a positive and negative affect to the climate thus effecting global warming. Professor Mack also says that by setting up a mock tundra and greenhouse researchers were able to discover the reason for climate change.

So slash-and-burn is GOOD for the environment, now?

Plants release CO2 at night.

Duh....they are just now finding this out? Real scientists have known this forever. Wonder when the idjuts will figure out that the world is self-correcting?

"excel global warming."

English challenged? Accelerate, perhaps?

"The study shows how vegetation and plants work together"

All that non-plant vegetation interacts with the plant-like animals in a classless society where chlorophil controls the means of production...

Does Toyota know about this?

Maybe I need a PhD level sceintist to 'splain carbon sequestration to me ... MORE plants, vegetation and TREES would seem to indicate MORE sequestration of said CO2 ... more TREES harvested, making way for more TREES would also seem to trap more carbon ...

Plants eat carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Carbon dioxide is plant food.

But since plants are made of CARBON, it is not possible for them to ADD CO2 to the atmosphere.

That's not true. Afterall, animals are made of carbon also, and we dump a lot of CO2 in to the air!

"So slash-and-burn is GOOD for the environment, now?

"Northern Ecosystems" "tundra"

Supposedly Yes, but only if practiced in Northern Canada and similar places. This sounds a little too much like how "global warming" was explained after the initial hysteria to be neither "global" nor necessarily "warming".

"...greenhouse researchers were able to discover the reason for climate change."

WHEW! That's a relief. I don't know what all these scientists are discussing when they could have just asked these clever greenhouse researchers.

(BTW what is going on in journalism schools these days?)

I'm not sure if you are trying to be witty or if you are just ignorant. Perhaps you should work on your delivery.
