Sorry rocks...but he planet is greening, and it has been for decades. And science is admitting that it is due to the increase in CO2. CO2 is, after all plant food...the empirical evidence of greater plant growth when more CO2 is present is undeniable, unless you are a world class, top shelf science denier. The empirical evidence that CO2 is having an effect on the global climate, however, is non existent.
The fact is that 74% of the globe has greened since 1981 and CO2 is to blame...and the fact that the earth has further warmed out of the little ice age.

It seems paradoxical: Although the rainforest in the tropics is extensively destroyed, the vegetation on Earth has been spreading for decades, according to satellite data.In the December issue, bild of science sheds light on what this greening is all about.In addition, the title theme includes a look at the sometimes problematic state of the German forest.Bad news on the way – Climate change and environmental degradation threaten to devastate our planet, many studies show: forests are being cut down and droughts and soil erosion are destroying more and more areas of land.From orbit, our planet as a whole would have to look increasingly browner, one might think. But, astonishingly, the opposite is true: according to a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, satellite observations show that vegetation has been greened over the past three decades in parts of Asia, Europe, South America, Central North America and South-East Australia.There are regions that become browner, but the bottom line is that a larger area on our planet is green than browned, it concludes.In the title theme "The World Is Greened", the bdw author Jan Berndorff investigates the questions of what lies behind the surprising effect, what the development means and how it could go further.

He is a geologist and is apparently keeping up with the actual science...You, on the other hand are a hand waving hysteric who wouldn't know science if it bit you in the ass..and when it does, I am quite sure that you are more than willing to deny it in favor of your quasi religious belief in whatever your cult leaders tell you to believe.

And interesting article, but one that is misleading. Here is one of the statements that shows how it is misleading;
"It seems paradoxical: Although the rainforest in the tropics is extensively destroyed, the vegetation on Earth has been spreading for decades, according to satellite data.In the December issue, bild of science sheds light on what this greening is all about.In addition, the title theme includes a look at the sometimes problematic state of the German forest.Bad news on the way – Climate change and environmental degradation threaten to devastate our planet, many studies show: forests are being cut down and droughts and soil erosion are destroying more and more areas of land."
In other words, forests cut down or burned, and replaced with crops or shrubs, which do not contain anywhere near the amount of carbon that the forests did. Also, as the article noted, the rise in CO2 has a very negative affect, and this years floods and fires have certainly reduce the LIA. As the heat increases, there will be areas in which plants can no longer grow.
