Green or not

The other side of the story. For millions of years and up to the industrial revolution the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was decreasing. The main reason is that sea creatures were converting it all to calcium salts that are used to build their shells. This was putting stress on plant life and the earth was losing its green. As the industrial age began to put CO2 into the air the plant life was revived and today is thriving. While stories about the destruction of the rain forest abound, stories about the earth getting greener are no where to be found. As carbon free nuclear power becomes the dominate source of energy the loss of CO2 will be cause great harm to the greening of the earth. There will come a day when countries will be required to add CO2 to the atmosphere. Here are some excerpts from NASA. Earth has continued to grow green since the turn of the century and this could help moderate global warming. NASA in February of 2019 established that the earth was greener than it was in 1980. More trees means more rain which means more clouds which means global cooling. Isn't it strange that this kind of information is rarely published.
