Scientists discover another
negative feedback mechanism related to CO2.
"The researchers found that the effect acts in reverse in the atmosphere
as volatile organic compounds from pollution or from the biosphere
evaporate and give off characteristic aromas, such as the pine smells
from forest, but under moist cooler conditions where clouds form, the
molecules prefer to be liquid and make larger particles that are more
effective seeds for cloud droplets."
So as CO2 feeds plant growth, the plant vapors feed cloud growth and albedo, cooling the climate.
