Study: Global plant growth surging alongside carbon dioxide

Nature has a powerful way of dealing with atmospheric carbon dioxide! Global Warming is a hoax! Climate Change is a religion!

"... Has plant growth increased alongside rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? It turns out the answer is Yes – in a big way. A new study published in the April 6 edition of the journal Nature concludes that as emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels have increased since the start of the 20th century, plants around the world are utilizing 30 percent more carbon dioxide (CO2), spurring plant growth. ..."

"... Plants take up CO2 when they photosynthesize, but they release it when they respire, decay or are burned. That means that the removal rate of CO2 by plants can’t be directly estimated on global scales from measurements of CO2 alone. ..."
This essentially means the estimation of the global carbon cycle is flawed (I blogged here about it).
