droughts, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, global ice
cover, and rainfall are about the same (maybe a slight increase
in total rainfall);
forests and all other vegetation that has been studied are growing
faster; actual effects of putative ocean pH
change are negligible to non-existent.
While recent research has shown that eastern US
forests are growing
faster as the climate
changes, overall the total
forest cover throughout the region has shown «significant» decline
in since the early 1970s years,
