Good news! This is what I call the green and clean power of CO2!
It looks like this study was conducted by Chinese scientists. How many new coal fired power plants go online every year in China? Chinese communists are laughing about the obsessive, maniacal preoccupation of the West with Climate Change!
Reminder: CO2 is a life essential trace gas in the atmosphere not a poison or danger it is made to be by incessant daily propaganda and demagoguery!
From the highlights and abstract:
"Highlights
• The global greening is an indisputable fact.
• The rate of global greening increased slightly.
• The drought has only slowed the global greening, but not caused the global browning.
Abstract
Increases or decreases in remote sensing-based vegetation greenness are usually referred to as greening or browning. The CO2 fertilization along with land management determined that greening is dominant. However, recently global browning signals due to drought stress have also been widely reported. In this study, We used the four latest leaf area index (LAI) datasets to explore this controversial topic, and found that global greening was not only present (trend between 3.1–6.4 ×10−3 m2 m−2 yr−1) but also continued (growth rate trend between 3.3–6.4 ×10−4 m2 m−2 yr−2) during 2001–2020. Greening acceleration occurred in 55.15% of the globe (positive trend and positive growth rate trend), while browning acceleration occurred in only 7.28% (negative trend and positive growth rate trend). Combined with meteorological variables, we found that CO2 change dominated the LAI trend, while climate change largely determined the LAI growth rate trend. Importantly, our study highlighted that drought trend did not necessarily trigger vegetation browning, but slowed down the rate of greening."
