Share this… Facebook TwitterThe elevated CO2 fertilization effect is driving global greening trends, pushing back deserts, enhancing photosynthesis by 30 to 50%, improving water use efficiency, and boosting crop yields by about 3% every year since 1961. Recently atmospheric CO2 has been rising at a rate of about 3 ppm per year. While activists claim […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterCO2-induced greening may reduce land surface temperatures by -0.7°C over the next 80 years. Earlier this year we highlighted a new study indicating the rising greening trends in the last four decades can be attributed to the change in precipitation patterns and “the physiological impact of rising CO2.” Greening-induced increases in evapotranspiration lead, […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study published in Geophysical Research Letters highlights the abysmal model performance manifested in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report (AR6). The 38 CMIP6 general circulation models (GCMs) fail to adequately simulate even the most recent (1980-2021) warming patterns over 60 to 81% of the Earth’s surface. Dr. Scafetta […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterHigher CO2 means more food, new study confirms As much as the global warming alarmists like to claim that warmer mean global temperatures are nothing but catastrophic, we know that warmer temperatures indeed offer a number of advantages. Source: Food and Agriculture Organization Among them is agricultural output and global greening. Warmer […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterScientists continue to assert CO2-induced global greening will continue unabated in the 21st century…just as it has since the 1980s. As Earth’s surface becomes greener, it becomes cooler, offsetting much of the projected warming. Satellite observations affirm the planet has become much greener over the last 4 decades, and this greening trend […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA simulated global warming of nearly 5°C will actually lead to more greening, more vegetation, more gross primary productivity…even if CO2 fertilization is held constant at present levels. A 2021 observational analysis (Cortes et al.) published in Geophysical Research Letters indicated that since 1981 15.8 million km² of the Earth’s land surface […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterAfter a thorough examination of extreme weather indices across the globe, scientists (Alimonti et al., 2022) have concluded “none of these response indicators show a clear positive trend of extreme events.” Therefore. “the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident yet.” There is an “absence […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study robustly affirms Earth’s recent vegetation greening trend by eliminating overestimations (false positives). Although this more restrictive analytical approach reduces the observed percentage of the Earth’s land greening from 36% to 15%, it also means that, when using the mean analysis, no browning trend can be detected in the last […]

Share this… Facebook Twitter In 2020, more than 400 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources. Over 400 […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterSince the 1980s, warming and rising CO2 fertilization have spawned a global-scale greening trend. This leads to an “Earth greening-induced cooling effect” of land surface temperatures. In the last 9 months we have highlighted a study (Haverd et al., 2020) asserting rising CO2 and warming are the dominant drivers of Earth’s strong […]
