Posted Sun Apr 5 2009: from London Daily Telegraph:
Trees are growing faster and could buy time to halt global warming http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1238947474
The phenomenon has been discovered in a variety of flora, ranging from tropical rainforests to British sugar beet crops. It means they are soaking up at least some of the billions of tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere by humans that would otherwise be accelerating the rate of climate change.... they would be removing nearly 5 billion tons of CO2 a year from the atmosphere... Humans are believed to generate about 50 billion tons of the gas each year.
