When you look at works such as Sobel's untitled 1944 painting shown, the temptation is not to see the vegetation like drip pattern blending with the figure as much as to see the dripped paint obscuring the figure — just as circumstances conspired to obscure the figure of Janet Sobel for more than half a century.

Between the heat and the dry vegetation conditions, conditions are ripe for wildfires, which have broken out in multiple states, and Prime Minister Julia Gillard warned yesterday that global warming will mean even more extreme weather events.

These facts help explain why, in spite of the Earth's air temperature increasing to a level that the IPCC claims is unprecedented in the the past millennium or more, a recent study by Randall et al. (2013) found that the 14 % extra carbon dioxide fertilization caused by human emissions between 1982 and 2010 caused an average worldwide increase in vegetation foliage by 11 % after adjusting the data for precipitation effects.

The observed global greening has occurred in spite of all the many real and imagined assaults on Earth's vegetation that have occurred over the past several decades, including wildfires, disease, pest outbreaks, deforestation, and climatic changes in temperature and precipitation, more than compensating for any of the negative effects these phenomena may have had on the global biosphere.

Thus the oceans are a little stronger in CO2 release for increased temperature than that vegetation is in more uptake.

IMO changes to continental configuration are probably more important than CO2, and for sub-geological timescales unforced variation in climate and vegetation interaction.

More exact for the partitioning between oceans and vegetation are found in the oxygen balance, but with large margins of error, as oxygen change measurements (a few ppmv in 200,000 ppmv) are extremely difficult, at the edge of the accuracy of the methods used.
