Global warming?
Answer:
Yes. Excess water will evaporate, which will free the heat from the earth's surface in a form other than shortwave radiation. Since there will be less shortwave radiation for the CO2 to "absorb and re-radiate" then it will reduce global warming!
Good Idea!
Nope, it will make them droop and develop root rot.
If you water you plants and plant new ones and of course tell you neighbors to do the same thing so they can tell other neighbors and friends and so it can spread around for miles and with time eventually reaching millions....... it will help slow global warming......
Too much, huh?
Only if you're not currently watering them enough.
I am guessing this is a joke. Global warming is too complex to simply break down into one variable. By holding everything else constant and simply increasing plant life on the earth's surface would yield results that no one could properly predict. Sure it would reduce CO2 but think of all the treatment that would be required to provide those plants water. Not to mention the extra lawn clippings that requires you to mow - therefore adding more CO2...
Time to accept that its simply too complex to answer. Global warming is a problem that does not have a real answer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUDE
Don't! Ｙｏｕ＇ｌｌ ｋｉｌｌ ｕｓ ａｌｌ！！！
whats the connection?
Actually, global warming, or the so called cause of global warming, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, if anything, actually stimulates plant growth. So if this is not an exact answer, I hope it helps
it think that if you plant more plants, that would slow down global warming

The climate system varies through natural, internal processes and in response to variations in external forcing factors including solar activity, volcanic emissions, variations in the earth's orbit (orbital forcing) and greenhouse gases. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus[9] identifies increased levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity as the main influence. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. Contrasting with the scientific consensus, other hypotheses have been proposed to explain most of the observed increase in global temperatures. One such hypothesis is that the warming is caused by natural fluctuations in the climate or that warming is mainly a result of variations in solar radiation.[10]
None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. Due to the thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects, the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at present day levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.[11]
Technically yes, but it won't have a significant impact (although you could argue that every little bit helps!)
Plant life, especially trees, act as "carbon sinks." Carbon sinks are like "resevoirs" that store carbon, the opposite of a carbon "source."
Plants breath-in carbon dioxide and use it to grow, and they exhale oxygen. Bascially, plant cells absorb the carbon and use it to grow. People are encouraged to plant trees and help save the rainforest because on a larger scale they act as carbon sinks and remove carbon from the atmosphere.
The catch-22 is that there's soooo much man-made carbon in the air that plants everywehre will grow... and when plants die, they decay. Decaying plants means that the carbon they absorbed when they were alive returns to the atmosphere. So it's tricky.
