What’s this all about? I’d only ever read about “fern trees.”

"Cools earth?"
So now CO2 is the only thing that affects global climate?
Methinks the global-warming used-car salesmen are overplaying their hand.

Let’s see:
(a) “warming” induces greater growth of green-leafing plant life (longer temperature-beneficial growing season)
(b) greatly increasing growth of CO2 absorbing life which also tends to cool surface temperatures
therefore (a-global warming) + (b-more plant life) = (c)global cooling.
As satisfying as that simple statement is, it only works if the cycles of the Sun (which induce all major earth-temperature trends) are also ignored as if they have no affect on (a) to begin with, when in fact they have the largest affect.

"Scientists believe these early forests absorbed carbon dioxide, cooling the Earth's surface." A clear example of sneaking propaganda into what seems to be an otherwise factual story. All green leafed plant life absorbs carbon dioxide. Chlorophyll uses sunlight to convert CO2 to oxygen. Chlorophyll is what makes them green. The cooling statement is simply the authors opinion.

Spore you say?

So they sucked in CO^2, and exhaled that damned toxic, horridly reactive, habitat destroying O^2?
They suicidally turned the earth’s atmosphere from a Paradisiacal warm, reducing mixture, into an incredibly noxious, cooler oxidizing atmosphere?

An earlier FR topic, but with the Al Gore-ism in the headline. Thanks Blam.
