"Many scientists previously thought the reduction in sunlight lowered the Earth's temperature and slowed plant and soil respiration, a process where plants and soil emit CO2. But this new research shows that when faced with diffuse sunlight, plants actually become more efficient, drawing more carbon dioxide out of the air."
Now I was thinking... what if some huge dormant volcano decided it is morning and wakey wakey time, spews the equivalent of 10 Pinatubo's into the atmosphere in a period of a few weeks... what would we do?
Adapt or die I would say, this is exactly what nature does every day this Blue Dot revolves around dear Sol, some organisms die and others adapt. We humans are but a drop in the ocean when compared to what nature itself can inflict on life on this planet... something to bear in mind when the next media Global Warming panic attack starts.
