Apr. 13--Plants won't suck up as much of the carbon dioxide contributing to global warming as scientists had hoped, a new study led by a University of Minnesota researcher found. Until recently, worldwide computer modeling relied on plants to absorb a good share of the extra carbon dioxide produced largely by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas that causes higher surface and atmospheric temperatures. Lab evidence has led scientists to rethink the dependence on plants, but now a six-year Minnesota-led study confirmed it in the real world. Plants in a field north of the Twin Cities ...
