Seems like we're safe.

Vegetation increased in Europe because people decided it maybe wasn't the best idea to cut down all their forests and not plant any more trees. I don't know what other point you're trying to make.

>Factorial simulations with multiple global ecosystem models suggest that CO2 fertilization effects explain 70% of the observed greening trend, followed by nitrogen deposition (9%), climate change (8%) and land cover change (LCC) (4%).
95% of a tree's bulk is just comes from CO2 absorbed from the air. They're like crystals in a way; its fascinating
The best solution for curbing CO2 content in the atmosphere is to start farming genetically engineered super-algae en-masse and then pulverizing/harvesting it to make fresh, clean crude oil (that has far less pollutants) for our gas energy needs.
Too bad regular crude oil got so cheap and killed all interest in the idea

yeah, and using wood for everything instead of metal or plastics
i'd love to have a macbook with a wooden case

You're only looking at Europe. Europe is the only place where vegetation is increasing and it's not because of CO2 but because people have stopped cutting down forests. If you looked at South America, Central Africa or Asia that would be a different story, even though they have the same levels of CO2.

>Just 4% of vegetated land has suffered from plant loss.

and north america
and russia
They are doing mass cutting in those other places, which is why its declining there.

plastic has some inherent advantages though like making food last longer. Although that could be remedied with better refrigeration with energy from the algae like the top guy said.

Enjoy the Modern Warm Period while it lasts.

I really hate graphs with colours that don't even say what they're talking about

modern maximum is the GOAT era
