Same old story...no clue on effects of climate change

From The Times UK: Climate Change may help rainforests.

Translation: We still don't know what global warming is going to do to anything. By all means, let's wreck the economy pursuing anti-capitalist agendas against the auto industry to fight global warming.

Climate change may help rainforests
The Times UK

Climate change may lead to lush growth rather than catastrophic tree loss in the Amazonian forests, researchers from the US and Brazil have found. A study, in the journal Science, found that reduced rainfall had led to greener forests, possibly because sunlight levels are higher when there are fewer rainclouds.

But scientists cautioned that while the finding raises hope for the survival of the forests, there are still serious threats. Climate models have suggested that the forests will suffer as the region becomes drier and will release huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
