Idle thought

Posted on 15:10 by hony
In 1977 Freeman Dyson argued that about 10% of the carbon dioxide in the air is typically absorbed by plants from Spring to Fall, then released when the plants die as the temperature cools.

Thought: as human society warms the earth with ever increasing CO2 emissions, and more and more land becomes habitable for plants and trees, will it actually stem the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide?
Or does increasing temperatures actually decrease habitable landmass?
