British police issue safety warning over Greta Thunberg rally

The blue planet is going green—literally. Since the 1980s, satellite images have shown that leafy cover across the globe has grown by 2.3 percent per decade.

A new study, published February 11 in Nature Sustainability, helps explain why. One main driver is the "fertilization effect," brought about by humans burning fossil fuels. As CO2 increases in the atmosphere, this boosts photosynthesis—as long as water, light, and nutrients are not limited. When plants take up more of the gas, they produce more food and unfurl new leaves.

But researchers also found another cause for the change in hue: planting more crops and trees. China and India, the two most populous countries on Earth, have contributed about a third of the greening seen since 2000, mainly in the form of forests and farms.

I read NASA says up to 50% greener in places than in 1986. Maybe because plants love the extra CO2. I think humans need to think about the other organisms that have been here longer than us.

Why? Do you think that you've got it?

 

Well if that were true Trump would be a super spreader. No, a mega spreader, the biggest most intelligent spreader in the world. He's certainly spread the most BS in his short time on this planet.

Yes they did a good job. Perfect for sticking this seasons first earlies in. Organic, of course. I always thought that lawns are a waste of good land.

It is not like that at all. Human endeaour inevitably causes emissions - nobody is denying that. What is being pointed out, however, is that the balance is way of kilter, and that humans are generating far more harmful byproducts than the planet can deal with. That bears no resemblance whatsoever to your ludicrous analogy. 

Usually baked beans and/or cabbage cause emissions in my case.

Some nations don't and never will give a B-R-A about 'emissions'.

Doesn't matter how many 'school kids' get all wound up about it.

The boys in blue might be right, middle aged men obsessing over a teenage girl is something to be very concerned over.

Three years ago the state heavy handily dealt with a father who took his daughter on holiday in school time.

 

Yesterday dozens of kids and their parents turned up in school time to watch a child truant with parental consent in the other direction deliver a cult sermon in Bristol.

 

You couldn't make it up...????
