Recently, controversial findings were released that suggest that the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by United States forests might be greater than the amount emitted by the nation's fossil-fuel combustion.

Second, the atmosphere seems to be benefiting from young forests, which are particularly efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide.
