Climate experts sound alarm over thriving plant life at Greenland ice sheet

Well, it is not as binary as “plants absorb greenhouse gases” or not. In this case, as you read the article, it says, “At the same time, water released from the melting ice is moving sediment and silt, and that eventually forms wetlands and fenlands.” which is the key -- it is forming patches that are producing methane.

Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Just as, paddy (rice fields) produces more methane during its early growth period than producing Oxygen or absorbing Carbon Dioxide.

Later in the article:

>The findings show a near-quadrupling of wetlands across Greenland, which are a source of methane emissions.

Reading the cited article in Nature, specifically re. methane, it states that "Arctic wetlands are effective methane emitters, yet dry and moist arctic tundra soils in north east Greenland have been measured to draw down methane", suggesting that the issue is the balance between the two.

> Why am I downvoted for asking a question?

Because it seems that some on HN treat any skepticism about negative impacts or reports of climate change with disdain. I think they feel that any report that presses the narrative further should be preserved or accepted without question.

The end justifies the means.

You've been downvoted because of a cadre of people on HN who, unless you virtue-signal your adherence to their doomsday religious cult, have deemed you impure.
