Pollution is protecting the world from climate change, according to two new studies. The first study found that the hole in the ozone layer, caused by the use of CFCs, has prevented the melting of Antarctica even as the rest of the world warms. A separate study found that plants absorb more carbon dioxide under polluted skies, therefore slowing global warming.

Does this mean that we now have to go out & buy 4x4s in order to save the planet?
