2 More New Studies Affirm CO2 Will Continue Greening (And Thus Cooling) The Planet Through 2100

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 to the rise in CO2 concentrations (Zhu et al., 2016, Winkler et al., 2019, Chen et al., 2019).
Further, “nearly all” climate models “project continuous greening of the planet during the 21st century” (Wu et al., 2022).
Greening-induced increases in evapotranspiration lead, in turn, to an increase in the global cloud cover. Increases in cloud cover reduce incoming solar radiation. A decline in incoming solar radiation cools the surface.
