The climate is always changing
Has been since the dawn of time. Sometimes we get ice ages too.
The real nutters are people who think they can stop that by recycling a milk bottle
Harsh climate scenarios have spent decades painting Earth's likely future landscape as dystopian, dark, barren and forbidding.
Yet, recent physical data argues exactly the opposite. Instead of plunging the planet into chaos, it's becoming eye-catchingly greener - and CO₂ is the key. The formal models predicted a scorched planet, but NASA satellites unleashed a world that is biologically thriving. This silent miracle of global greening isn't some theory, it's the physical reality captured by the orbiting space platforms; MODIS instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites.
This is how these jarring narratives have been unfolding:
* Official Climate Narrative: Rapid, systemic desertification and global canopy loss due to rising temperatures.
* Hard Reality: Persistent structural greening across more than 30% of the global vegetated area over the last two decades.
* Official Climate Narrative: CO₂ acts strictly as a destructive atmospheric pollutant driving extreme weather.
* Hard Reality: CO₂ is plant food, driving down stomatal conductance, making plants use water more efficiently and expanding the leaf area index.
* Official Climate Narrative: Global food supply chains are on the verge of climate-driven collapse.
* Hard Reality: Agricultural yields bolstered by CO₂ fertilisation are expanding green cover in semi-arid zones like the African Sahel and Western Australia.
Plants are not passive victims of these often fudged climate waystations. Increased atmospheric carbon should be a blast of rich green reality. Higher, more robust CO₂ is not a death sentence - which is what they argued. It allows vegetation to open their pores (stomata) less, yet absorb the same amount of carbon. This drastically reduces water loss through transpiration. It's why the world's arid desert regions are blooming and the fragile living desert is raging into life - plants are also becoming more drought-resistant.
This oft-neglected climate resurgence reveals that the biosphere is its own self-regulating flywheel. A massive global expansion of leaf cover is already visible from space. Official computer models consistently fail to mention it.
Nevertheless, a vividly coloured renaissance is dutifully taking place, sweeping away all doubts.
@DuxVul@BearJFK The sun is halfway through its lifespan.
So that means we have another four billion years, but of course, the sun's expansion will begin before the end.
@Royalacresrod@PeterDClack Scholars and scientists do that.I just study other people based on what I learn from them. How would I know whether you are right or wrong otherwise.
@DaveThroup Thats irrelevant. We have entered a scary new world now where nothing like where we are heading has been experienced before. We are all in this together.Stop fighting it.
@RichardPaving@PeterDClack 🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡
Keep dreaming! China is still building hundreds of brand new CFPSs. And you think they’ll soon shutter them?
Yes, that’s logical!!!
Not only is sea level rising, but it’s rising faster every year
Since 1960, 43% of global sea level rise attributed to thermal expansion of water
Melting ice : 27% came from mountain glaciers, while 15% came from Greenland Ice Sheet and 12% from the Antarctic Ice Sheet

@RichardPaving@PeterDClack No one is in “great danger.”
Grow up and touch grass.
There is no connection between AGW and our ability to generate all needed power without hydrocarbons.
But keep living in your dangerous world, for it changes nothing about suppling needed power for mankind.
@Royalacresrod@PeterDClack I rely on the experts i follow. I don't try to be them or recyte their figures. I get the impression that none of you try to learn from scholars. They are a great bunch who mostly do their work for the sake of the human race. We are in great danger, you need to come on board.
@RichardPaving@PeterDClack 🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡
You bet. Modern society runs on hydrocarbons, whether you or I like it.
Come back when you can cite real numbers.
You can’t even tell us how to replace the power of a single plant.
And don’t forget inertia & reactive power. How are providing those?
