Greening World

The climate change cult is in trouble:

With desertification no longer the existential threat it once was, the climate alarmists have had to pivot yet again. Now, the narrative is all about the potential dangers of greening. The fear is that as drylands become more vegetated, they could lose their unique biodiversity. Specialist species that have adapted to arid conditions might be displaced by fast-growing plants better suited to the new, CO2-rich environment. “As we pump yet more CO2 into the air, arid-land greening seems set to continue, according to two recent modeling studies. But ecologists warn that, despite appearances, going green may have downsides for arid ecosystems and for the people who depend on them. Desert plants and animals will often lose out, and the extra vegetation may soak up scarce water supplies. Drylands cover roughly 40 percent of the planet’s land surface. The deserts at their core are surrounded by wide expanses of savanna grass, dry woodlands, and sometimes irrigated fields. They are home to more than a third of the world’s population and are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the international organization for conservation scientists.” But let’s be honest: the greening of deserts is hardly the catastrophe it’s made out to be. In fact, it’s a testament to the resilience of nature and the adaptability of ecosystems. Yet, the alarmists seem intent on framing it as yet another crisis that requires urgent intervention. It’s almost as if they can’t bear the thought of a world where CO2 might actually have some benefits.

Actually going green isn't good for them...
