    • Science

Global greening is one of the interesting developments of climate change that was unexpected by most. It's the premise that with increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, trees and plant life will benefit, thrive, and generate greater yield. This seems logical as plants consume CO2 as their primary energy source.
This idea is however is not being discussed by mainstream media. Even worse, when it is mentioned, the premise is often demonized. 
What's the big deal? Perhaps it's an unfortunate consequence that runs counter to a narrative of complete doom and gloom that is the climate catastrophe.
We explore the concept further on this episode of the podcast.
