Here's an interesting twist in the global warming/climate change discussion:
Since the 1960s, increased levels of atmospheric pollution have enhanced plant productivity by as much as one quarter, research has found. This will be interesting to see where the research and its implication goes because of how much more carbon is stored in the soil by a plant that has enhanced photosynthesis abilities according to their preliminary studies. If nothing else, this should be a reminder to us that the Earth is a very dynamic and surprising system. We should be careful with any artificial "corrective measures" taken because quite honestly, the intricacies of every facet of life and geographical detail on this planet, and exactly how they react to one another, is not fully understood as of yet.
