When we hear that the scientific community has accepted the reality of
AGW, it is because lots of scientists in different fields have done
narrow experiments like this to tease out how things work and how they
are interrelated.

What has science got to do with banking? It's the speculators and spivs
who have turned the money market.

It is not clear that the methodology supports the conclusion.

Plants may absorb less CO2 in arid conditions, as the plant tries to reduce
transpiration. However, all models of global warming also predict increased
evaporation, which implies more precipitation. To test the CO2 absorption
rate at higher temps, you thus need to increase the precip accordingly. It
isn't clear from the BBC report whether that was done.
