Study: Carbon-Hungry Plants Impede Growth Rate of Atmospheric CO2 

Caption

Changes in the growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The black line is the observed growth rate and the beige line is the modelled rate. The red line indicates a significant increasing trend in the growth rate from 1959 to 2002, and the blue line indicates no increasing trend between 2002 and 2014.
