C'mon guess. :yup:
Hint: Might not be so good for the polar bears. :innocent:
Climate change may help rainforests (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2500311.ece) [ The Times (UK) ]
Climate change may lead to lush growth rather than catastrophic tree loss in the Amazonian forests, researchers from the US and Brazil have found. A study, in the journal Science, found that reduced rainfall had led to greener forests, possibly because sunlight levels are higher when there are fewer rainclouds.
But scientists cautioned that while the finding raises hopes for the survival of the forests, there are still serious threats. Climate models have suggested that the forests will suffer as the region becomes drier and will release huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Climate models have suggested in the past that the Amazon will suffer enormous die-backs as the region becomes drier and will release huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Uh oh. Misleading headline. :fuming:
Love that spoiler tag. :D
