The carbon scare-mongers fail to mention that all trees and plants use photosynthesis, converting CO2 into O2, while retaining carbon.
I read somewhere that more CO2 in the atmosphere actually makes trees and plants grow better, and they absorb more carbon, generating more oxygen.
Nature’s brilliant balancing act.
That was exactly my thought: that the growing density of vegetation is a function of higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Like watering your plants a little extra.
Of course no one dares say this in the media or the scientific community. For them, increasing forest density is somehow an inexplicable mystery.
