Global Greening: The truth they don’t want you to know

The recent rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has led to significant increases in plant vegetation across the Earth, with a geographer and an agrobiologist in Spain finding “robust quantitative evidence” of widespread global greening, describing it as “striking” with a significant portion of the Earth’s terrestrial land surface showing measurable increases in vegetation cover over the last four decades.

The corporate media have failed to report on this greening phenomenon, despite being easily tracked by satellite.  “Global greening heads a long list of taboo subjects for captured journalists promoting the political Net Zero fantasy,” Chris Morrison, The Daily Sceptic’s Environment Editor, wrote last week.

Adding, “Global greening helps reduce world famine and reclaim desert areas but it is not of the slightest interest in the mainstream since it disrupts the fake claims of a climate in crisis due to humans burning hydrocarbons.”

Despite the best efforts of left-wing corporate media’s activist journalism, nature will do what nature will do.

Estimates of global vegetation growth range around 14-20% over just 40 years and recent scientific work has found that the rate of greening has actually been increasing since the turn of the century.

The Spanish researchers published their paper in January 2025.  They said that 38% of the world’s land surface shows significant vegetation change, with 76% of the change total showing more greening and those areas with more plant life showing higher rates of additional growth, helping to confirm global greening.

The results of the Spanish researchers are replicated in recent scientific work, and should not be a surprise since plants on Earth have evolved to thrive in levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) much higher than the current historically sparse totals around 400 parts per million (ppm).  Far from being a pollutant, as climate change alarmists want the public to believe, CO₂ is rightly known as the gas of life.

A group of Chinese scientists noted there has been an “accelerated rate” of recent vegetation growth.  A group of American scientists recently highlighted 2020 as a “historic landmark” since it registered as the greenest year in the satellite record from 2001 to 2020.  Debate over the percentage of total global land greening and ‘browning’ is ongoing, with some work finding a greening change over at least 50% of the surface.

The benefits of global greening include reducing world famine and reclaiming desert areas. Some deserts across the world are reducing in size, particularly around areas prone to subsistence living, and considerable greening across Eurasia has also been found by many scientific teams.

In their paper ‘Environmental Drivers of Agricultural Productivity Growth’ for the National Bureau of Economic Research, authors Charles Taylor and Wolfram Schlenker have consistently found a large fertilisation effect of a 1 ppm increase in CO₂ equates to higher crop yields, but this has been ignored by outlets such as the BBC and The Guardian.
