...higher levels of atmospheric CO2 that would likely be seen in a warmer future won't make much of a difference either - if the pine needles' pores are closed to prevent water loss, CO2 simply won't get in. Even more worrisome, the PNAS study doesn't take into account possible changes in precipitation patterns in a warmer future, which many climate models say could be drier, exacerbating the impacts of higher temperatures.
