"“Once people realize there’s a problem, they tend to fix it,” he said. “In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn’t good; in the 90s, people realized it; and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly resilient."

That's great about the increase in trees. I'm all for that. But let's not get carried away with the gushing compliments. Please.

Did a search on ‘ is the earth greener today’ because I had read reports that increased CO2 emissions is causing the earth to become greener. And this article popped up. Everything is the opposite of what we are being told.

“The effect stems mainly from ambitious tree planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.”

And the increase in CO2.

Smells like propaganda

This discovery warrants attention from B. Gates who has purchased a forest of 70,000 trees which he plans to chop down and bury to save the planet from the horrible carbon this vile vegetation contains.

NASA need to watch some YouTube videos. I saw one where Chinese plant fake trees and paint the ground green to fool aerial and satellite photos.

Apparently, the billions of people and the lax or non-existent pollution regulations in Asia have only contributed to the good Greening of the Earth.

The message is clear: The United States is the problem. We need to do more. We need fundamental transformation over here.

And the supposed “too much” co2 which feeds them...that’s called “scientific truth”.

Evidently NASA is now just another arm of the ChiCom propaganda machine.
Hurray for the green ChiComs and all their new coal-fired power plants!

Human beings are environmentally beneficial?

Better not tell Al Gore!

The greening phenomenon was first detected using satellite data in the mid-1990s by Ranga Myneni of Boston University and colleagues, but they did not know whether human activity was one of its chief, direct causes. This new insight was made possible by a nearly 20-year-long data record from a NASA instrument orbiting the Earth on two satellites. It’s called the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, and its high-resolution data provides very accurate information, helping researchers work out details of what’s happening with Earth’s vegetation, down to the level of 500 meters, or about 1,600 feet, on the ground.

I for one, fully trust Ranga Myneni of Boston University and colleagues(and NASA). NASA did some amazing things through the obama years with all that Muslim outreach.
