#4  What that article seems to miss is that plants put water vapor into the atmosphere. Water vapor is a more common and potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Of course, without water vapor in the atmosphere we would all die.

#3  Don't forget that paving and roofs increase the risk of flooding. And deforestation and logging, especially clear-cutting.

But enginers can (somewhat) precisely calulate the increase and design to mitigate the increase; it just costs more. As opposed to 'more' CO2 results in 'less' transpiration by plants, resulting in 'more than previously thought' risks of flooding.
