There is also more carbon dioxide in the air than ever before but it simply refuses to do its greenhouse thing.
Climate change: Intact forests currently absorb around 25 percent of carbon emissions from all human sources — damaging them will leave far more carbon dioxide in the air to warm the climate.
The policy - ramp advocates argue that the damage done by an additional ton of carbon in the atmosphere is fairly low at current concentrations; the cost will not get really large until there is a lot more carbon dioxide in the air, and that won't happen until late this century.
Air bubbles trapped in the ice and chemical clues about atmospheric carbon levels in corals have shown that there is now more carbon dioxide in the air than at any other point in the history of human civilization.
3) His theory depends on more carbon dioxide in the air leading to less water vapor.
Although this study in particular did not observe that trees are growing faster in the industrial age due to more carbon dioxide in the air, knowing how long it takes for trees to die will be important for scientists trying to work that out.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and other things being equal, the more carbon dioxide in the air, the warmer the planet.

This could lead to more carbon dioxide in the air, and accelerated warming.
Research suggests that when there's more carbon dioxide in the air, trees grow more quickly because the rate of photosynthesis speeds up.
Experiments scientists have carried out in temperate forests and greenhouses suggest that when there's more carbon dioxide in the air, trees can grow more quickly because their photosynthesis rate speeds up.
So, consistent with previous research, the study finds that trees can use water more efficiently when there's more carbon dioxide in the air, which makes their rate of photosynthesis increase.
