Can we rely on mother planet?

Could Mother Nature be coming to our rescue again? New research indicates
that the Earth’s vegetation has been absorbing more carbon dioxide than
been thought, which has led to a reduction in global warming and will give
us more time to get under control.
Mother Nature has been kind to us. For centuries she took everything
humans threw at her without seriously fighting back. But as scientists point
us, there are limits to Mother Nature’s patients. The positive effect of carbon
dioxide on plant growth is unlikely to continue in the long term because trees
and vegetation meet other problems, most importantly a lack of nutrients
such as phosphorous and nitrogen that they need to grow.
Global warming brings other problems too. For instance, tree-killing insects
do better in warmer temperatures. One example in the pine bark beetle,
which has killed 45 million acres of forest in western Canada and north-west
America. Also, climate change leads to drier weather which results in more
forest fires. These release huge amounts of carbon dioxide into atmosphere.
The positive and negative effects of global warming cause much debate in
climate science. However, the basic physics of global warming are
agreed by scientists.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere, like glass in a greenhouse, warming
the Earth. Much of it is reflected back as infrared radiation and a large
amount of it is absorbed by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere, heating the world further. Without this natural process, the Earth
would be 20̊ С colder, and humans would not be able to live here. However,
when we produce more carbon dioxide, it increases greenhouse gases.
Although scientists agree on this, they do not always agree on how we deal
with nature’s acts of kindness. Clouds are good example of this. They
naturally send heat back out into space but air pollution results in a further
increase in this effect. As we clean the pollution from our skies, we send less
heat back into space. Similarity, increased temperatures result in melting ice
which leads to rising seas. But these actually absorb more heat.
Al in all, it seems that an increase in carbon dioxide will not warm the Earth
as much as we had thought. However, we still need to take immediate action.
For leading scientists, it is important to focus on the changes the world has
already experienced from low levels of warming. These include the tree-
killing insects and melting ice in the Antarctic and the Arctic. Interestingly,
the latte is being increasingly linked storms in Britain.
