Key Takeaways:
NASA satellite imagery analysis shows significant plant growth globally over the past 35 years. Research from NASA as well as multiple other studies conclude that the increased plant growth is a response to rising carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere creating better growing conditions.

Those of us who had a real education, and kept on being curious, learning throughout our lives, we were taught about the natural Carbon Cycle. No, not the bastardized “evil carbon” from the Deep State / Drive-By Media.
Here are some of the NASA findings.
No one with a brain will be surprised.

NASA Says Earth Is Greener Today Than 20 Years Ago Thanks To ...
NASA satellite data reveals that Earth has become significantly greener over the past two decades, with a 5% increase in green leaf area—equivalent to adding a new Amazon rainforest. This global phenomenon is driven primarily by carbon dioxide fertilization (rising CO2 levels) and intensive human land-use, particularly tree-planting and agricultural expansion in China and India.
Key Findings from NASA Studies: Extent of Greening: A study found that 25% to 50% of the Earth's vegetated lands showed significant greening. From 2000 to 2020, there was a 10% increase in green foliage cover.
Main Drivers: The primary driver is the fertilizing effect of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, which allows plants to grow more leaves and use water more efficiently.
Human Impact: China and India lead the world in greening. In China, this is driven by forest conservation and expansion programs, while in both countries, it is largely due to intensive food cultivation.
Environmental Impact: This greening has a slight cooling effect on the planet in some regions, as the increased foliage acts as a natural air conditioner through evapotranspiration.
A pollical movement is ready to declare victory and move on a winning cause that might gain traction for socialism.
Carbon dioxide is plant food. Anybody who is suprised at this outcome wasn’t paying attention in school.

And plants serve as food for food.
Carbon dioxide is plant food.
I thought it was Brawndo - The Thirst Mutilator.....It’s got Electrolytes!
That such greening is harming the Sahara ecosystem.
“Carbon dioxide is plant food. “
Nope. Plants use the sun and carbon dioxide to generate their food.
Thank you, Captain Twatwaffle.
It's ain't all a picnic. I've been talking about the fertilization effect of anthropogenic carbon dioxide for 25 years. It has benefits, it also carries problems. It reduces drought stress in seedlings, packing up forests with crappy little trees. They hold more snow which sublimates instead of percolating into soil. The result is MUCH higher fire hazards.
In a purely free-enterprise system which accounts for the cost of those risks, there would be a premium for the cost of managing that extra fuel to mitigate increased fire hazards.
I invented and patented such a business method and then quitclaimed it back to the American people because I didn't want some monster corporation doing it first and couldn't afford to defend it anyway.
I can also say that the successional systems that have accelerated due to additional CO2 do play a role in the species losses we have seen over recent decades. The research I'm doing has shown there are are ways to offset that problem too but nobody seems interested in it.
Ever heard of nitrates, phosphates, and trace minerals in soils? Ever heard of mycorrhizae? How about WATER?
Sheesh.
You’re a fungus at heart...
Increased CO2 also causes de-desertification.
Plants open their skin pores to inhale CO2, an essential food for them. But open pores mean they lose water through those pores. So the more CO2 in the air, the less they need to open them, and the more water they retain.
If they don’t need to uptake water, it stays in the soil and can support more plants. And arid land becomes fertile.
“Ever heard of nitrates, phosphates, and trace minerals in soils? Ever heard of mycorrhizae? How about WATER?
Sheesh.”
I have heard of allof that. Have you ever heard of plant respiration and photosynthesis?
“Thank you, Captain Twatwaffle.”
Thank you. I am always glad to educate.
Yes.
This means we also need less water for irrigation purposes.
“Ever heard of nitrates, phosphates, and trace minerals in soils? “
Ever heard of glucose?
🤣🤣🤣👍

“Environmental Impact: This greening has a slight cooling effect on the planet in some regions, as the increased foliage acts as a natural air conditioner through evapotranspiration.” I’m all for evapotranspiration...it makes wheat grow.
More plants equals more oxygen. Sounds good to me if the numbers are not judged using climate modeling computations and projections instead of real world observations.
