Fox Fail: Pollution is Good

From Examiner.com:

The study was commissioned by the Department of Defense, and the university was given $2.4 million to carry it out. The purpose of the study was to develop a plan that sequesters carbon in long-leaf pine forests on military bases, therefore reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. 

During the course of the study Auburn researchers concluded that pollution has temporarily increased the growth rate of trees in the South Eastern regions of America, which historically removes more carbon from the environment than it produces. The study also found that the cause of this growth will lead to ground level ozone increases, which can develop into a myriad of other environmental conditions.

So while the study concluded that pollution did help the trees grow, it also found the pollution would ultimately damage the environment. Fox, staying true to form, elected to show a graphic for the entire segment (see image above article) which claimed "STUDY: POLLUTION HELPED GROW FORREST ACROSS SOUTHEAST U.S."

Gee, I wonder why Fox viewers are the least informed? You can read the article in its entirety HERE.
