>Back on planet Earth, a review of the current scientific literature firmly disproves this thesis. Nasa satellite images clearly show the deserts are retreating, and on average there is a strong trend to global greening...

Canada is one of the few countries which pulled out of the United nations desertification action. For which Canada was penalized heavily. This is the same initiative that plans to plant trees across africa.

IPCC 2019 makes it quite clear that greenification is not happening and desertification is absolutely a huge problem.

Greenification isn't even a consideration for climate change.

Greenification isn't a word you will find in the effects of climate change wiki page.

Why is it do you think that they exclude this?



They are ignoring the LAI (Leaf Area Index) data. You would have to ask them why they do that. While you are at it, ask them why they always start at 1850, like that wiki article. And ask geologists what is significant about that year.

I will give you a clue. It is an anagram of LAI.


For future readers. The Little Ice Age, a glacial period after the Middle Age Warm era, ended around 1850. Since all climate models used by the IPCC start from that point, they would predictably show rising temperatures, as the globe began another mini interglacial period.
