air pollution, smog, haze, climate change, co2 emissions, plants, photosynthesis, study, reasearch, global dimmingAt first listen, it sounds like something that would go against the core beliefs of any eco-expert, but recent research shows that air polluted skies are helping plants to reduce global warming. A study from 1960 to 1999, led by Dr. Lina Mercado from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, was published earlier this year in the Nature scientific journal reporting that plants stored 23....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/does-pollution-actually-fight-global-warming/'>READ ARTICLE</a>7
