		<description><![CDATA[











As plants â€˜breatheâ€™ and â€˜perspireâ€™ they help cool the atmosphere. Plants consume carbon dioxideâ€”a significant greenhouse gasâ€”in the process of photosynthesis. The reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has an indirect cooling effect. Plants also cool the atmosphere because they release water vapor when they get hot, a process similar to sweating. The diagram [...]]]></description>
