[E. Pluribus Unum]

But I thought we already knew everything?!

We know everything about global climate, even though it is a system with an infinite number of variables.

What's going on? Deep roots of trees can reach water even in the dry season, the researchers figure, and so they take advantage of the added sunlight.

How stupid can scientists be????????

Surprise, the more CO2 in the air, the faster the Rain Forest grows.

Surprise, for every action there might be an opposite reaction. If burning fossil fuels creates man-made CO2, that is that not good for vegetation?

" Deep roots of trees can reach water even in the dry season, the researchers figure, and so they take advantage of the added sunlight."

That sounds like the reason: The thing that's at a premium in a thick jungle is sunlight, except for the top of the canopy.
