Scientists 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 is largely attributed […]

A 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 has greened and […]

After 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 of generalized growth […]

A new study published in the journal Ecological Solutions and Evidence shows that forestry management has a significant influence on the cooling capacity of forests. Our cooling forests.

A 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 40 years. It’s […]

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 scientific papers published in […]

Since 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 post-1980s greening trend. […]

CO2 has little impact on climate, important for life, says former UN official. A CO2 Memorandum By Albert Köhler MSc. (Translation, editing, subheadings by P Gosselin) With this manuscript I would like to deal with the CO2 topic, which currently seems to be so extremely important for media and politics, solely according to the precepts […]

Disaster was narrowly averted Under 180 ppm atmospheric CO2 concentration, life on earth begins to die. The earth came very close to that point not long ago during the Ice Ages (20,000 years ago). Then the planet warmed naturally, and an increase in atmospheric CO2 to over 200 ppm followed (new study here). The earth […]

About 70% of the Earth’s post-1980s vegetative greening trend has been driven by CO2 fertilization. More greening has offset or reversed 29% of recent anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Greening also has a net cooling effect on surface temperatures. Earlier this year we highlighted a study (Haverd et al., 2020) asserting rising CO2 and warming are the […]

By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt at Die kalte Sonne (Translated by P. Gosselin) June 7, 2020 Dear ladies and gentlemen First, the global mean temperature of satellite based measurements was surprisingly much higher in May 2020 than in April. In contrast, the global temperatures of the series of measurements on land and sea decreased. The difference […]

A new study finds rising CO2 concentrations (and warming) have driven the rapid increase in Earth’s photosynthesis processes, or greening. CO2-induced planetary greening leads to an enormous expansion of Earth’s carbon sink. By 2100 this greening-sink effect will offset 17 years of equivalent human CO2 emissions. This easily supersedes the effect of Paris Agreement CO2 […]
