The Surprising Power of Trees and Plants on Global Climate

Abstract:

It was worse than getting two positive Covid-19 test results. Both NASA and NOAA data confirmed the same finding. The implication? A world-view reset. Not possible! But then the World Meteorological Organization data confirmed. And then the United Kingdom, Mauna Loa Observatory, satellite readings, and even Alaska during summer when the power of flora lifts through solid ice. Decades of actual real-time climate data showed the same finding. An increase in water vapor and methane, powerful greenhouse gases, increase global temperatures. But CO2? Here, the study confirms the powerful greenhouse gas effect of CO2. But it also shows, just weeks later, that a linked property not only overpowers that effect, but reverses it. It gets worse. Reported is not a model. Reported is what actually happens to our global climate. While the evidence of CO2 dampening climate change is strong, the evidence identifying Greening as the cause of this is not conclusive. The cause could include other linked properties of CO2 (e.g., aerosols). Will we listen to our biosphere instructing us that CO2 greens and cools? Will leadership reverse global policies in time to save this planet we call home?
