Increased CO2 transforming earth, growing the rainforest and plants across the globe.

I guess.... Yay for greenhouse gasses?

"From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25."

That greening is only temporary and will eventually stop and likely swing the other way as temperature increases: more plants will photosynthesize less as they are forced to keep stoma(?) closed in order to prevent too much moisture evaporation. Only a very small portion of plants take in CO2 at night to photosynthesize during the day in order to prevent water loss...pretty sure few of any are food crops.
