Increased growth of plants fertilised by higher CO2 levels is only partly offsetting emissions and will not halt dangerous warming, scientists concludeA global "greening" of the planet has significantly slowed the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the start of the century, according to new research.More plants have been growing due to higher CO2 levels in the air and warming temperatures that cut the CO2 emitted by plants via respiration. The effects led the proportion of annual carbon emissions remaining in the air to fall from about 50% to 40% in the last decade. Continue reading...
