Yale Environment 360 Pushes Alarming Carbon Dioxide Story, Despite Beneficial Global Greening
20 hours agoAnthony Watts
A July 16th article published by Yale Environment 360 claims global greening is not a positive, but rather a negative because it will harm water supplies. This claim is at best amusing, and at worst, misleading. While acknowledging that many scientists see the greening of the Earth due to rising CO2, especially its desert regions, to be beneficial, the writer tries spin that as a negative.
The Yale Environment 360 article titled “With CO2 Levels Rising, World’s Drylands Are Turning Green,” is amusing because its author, Fred Pearce, couldn’t help putting a negative spin on some very positive news.
The subtitle of the article reads:
Despite warnings that climate change would create widespread desertification, many drylands are getting greener because of increased CO2 in the air — a trend that recent studies indicate will continue. But scientists warn this added vegetation may soak up scarce water supplies.
