Increased amounts of CO2 induced by humans has actually begun to affect photosynthesis of plants. It has actually shifted the balance between photosynthesis and photorespiration toward photosynthesis. It has affected photosynthetic metabolism in plants over the course of the 20th century. This could be good news as it dampens climate change by absorbing a third of human-caused CO2 emissions. This is however often counteracted by future temperature increases. I believe this is important because it is yet another sign of humans destructive behavior. Although this is a major break through, it shows just how much human induced CO2 emissions affect the environment around us. One can not rely on anything but personal change to reverse the affects of global warming.
