Study: increased carbon dioxide is greening deserts globally

earth greening deserts

Enhanced levels of carbon dioxide are likely cause of global dryland greening, study says.

WUWT: From the “inconvenient truth” department and INDIANA UNIVERSITY:

Enhanced levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are a likely key driver of global dryland greening, according to a paper published today in the journal Scientific Reports.

The positive trend in vegetation greenness has been observed through satellite images, but the reasons for it had been unclear.  MORE

  1. So, as the CO2 increases the plants increase their Chlorophyll content to expedite breaking down the CO2 into woody fibers and O2 … thus, as the CO2 increases the supply of plant matter increases as does the Oxygen content of the atmosphere, which in turn is breathed by every organism and causes an increase in CO2?

    Sounds like a perfectly balanced system.

    God knows EXACTLY what He’s doing.

  2. When will humans stop trying to manipulate the earth and it inhabitants? Funny how NO ONE is talking about Bill and Melinda Gates role in the release of Genetically modified mosquitoes at the epicenter of the Zika virus–oh and how the males aren’t so sterile if exposed to antibiotics–like the Tetracycline thats everywhere from livestock. Fucking assholes think they know BEST.

  3. I need to get rich so I can buy a submarine.

    Now the ‘Parched Earth’ theory has it’s day in the sun: Man has caused the Continents to be ‘thirsty’ with his devilish agriculture and the Continents are soaking up the seas that would surely drown us otherwise.
    We are surely doomed.
    I want one of those old diesel submarines so I can shoot myself and my friends out the torpedo tubes to get lobsters and stuff.
