Adding fuel to the flame

Jeebus:

Climate change may lead to lush growth rather than catastrophic tree loss in the Amazonian forests, researchers from the US and Brazil have found.

They did?

These observations suggest that intact Amazon forests may be more resilient than many ecosystem models assume, at least in response to short-term climatic anomalies. This work does not alter the growing understanding of how Amazon forests are vulnerable to stressors such as deforestation and fire, a vulnerability observed to increase dramatically during the 2005 drought (5). But it does suggest that forest vulnerability to climatic effects alone needs to be carefully assessed with studies aiming to improve models by integration with observations. Especially important for future work are observations to address the critically important question of forest response to longer term drought (8), such as may be induced by strong El Niño events or longer-term climate change.

Of course sloppy ledes that only partially get cleaned up in the last two paragraphs won't stop the wankers from wanking.
