Here’s more evidence, if any is needed, that the world needs to manufacture water in parched deserts far from any coastline to plant and irrigate trees so they can reduce the heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America details how scientists discovered that plants have the ability to absorb approximately 16% more CO2 than previously thought. Apparently higher concentrations of CO2 stimulate plants to grow, increasing their ability to process the gas and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
