As Carbon Dioxide Grows More Abundant, Trees Are Growing Bigger, Study Finds

Groundbreaking! Yale University has just discovered photosynthesis:

Trees are feasting on decades of carbon dioxide emissions and growing bigger as a result, according to a new study of U.S. forests. ... “While we’re putting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we’re actually taking much of it out just by letting our forests grow,” Sohngen said in a statement. “We should be planting more trees and preserving older ones, because at the end of the day they’re probably our best bet for mitigating climate change.”

Seriously: the fact that a top level "woke" university is admitting this is actually significant. Thin edge of the wedge in displacing the cult of environMENTALism.
