      Michael – “People who truly believe that the climate is changing catastrophically do not seem to be interested in global greening, it hurts their narrative.”

      Both claims are false; I believe you are projecting.

      I counter-claim that you have shown very little interest in the current ‘greening’.

        Greening is talked about Michael, extensively if you look.
        Yes there is greening happening and a large part of that is due to carbon fertilisation. The two countries that account for the majority of the area of greening equivalent to that of mainland USA are China and India. Both of those countries introduced specific measures to increase forests etc in an effort to help clean their air. Also some of that greening comes from increased crop planting in both those countries (nitrogen).

        Despite all the greening that has already happened CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing and emissions are increasing still. The greening isn’t able to keep up with the amount of CO2 emitted.

        Also, apparently plants acclimatise to the extra CO2 and the greening diminishes over time.

          well you would not know that from the BBC, unless I blinked and missed it.

          Not sure what the latest position is, with regard to Global Greening, but a few years ago the figure was 21% extra Greening, I guess they meant the total the land had greened in the previous thirty years or so, that Sat. information has been gathered.
          I believe they are now claiming that the World extra Greening, is equivalent to two continental U.S.A.s.

              Two links from the BBC here and here.

              You are correct. It is twice the area of continental US.

              Hope you feel better soon. Sinusitis can be f***ing painful.
