The world is significantly greener than it was 40 years ago, thanks to the rise in carbon dioxide. And the trend is accelerating, along with crop yields, reforestation, & even marine ecosystems.
One of the many reasons I knew that the so called Greens were never about better growing conditions. My good friend Pat Michaels started making the prediction that this would be the result of more CO2 in the atmosphere , and was vilified and attacked for it. He also was unappreciated for observing that cold weather killed many more people worldwide than the heat. He termed the term “luke warming” to describe the fact that if there was warming it would not be extreme and the apocalyptic predictions where clearly extreme,y unlikely, I was always disappointed that this nomenclature was not more widely adopted. He followed the science when it was being increasingly . First met Pat almost 40 years ago, he was both a nice guy and an optimist as well. .
Another really interesting point that Ridley highlights is that the warming has greater effect toward the polls and less toward the equator. That probably shouldn't be surprising to scientists, but it's certainly unexpected from a layperson's perspective. Generalizing warmer (which in this case means more temperate) weather further north (and south) is an enormous blessing to humanity and the entire ecosystem. Ridley is one of the few people I've ever heard mention it.
So the degree of warming is far smaller than advertised, it tends to make the planet more habitable not less, and the alleged mechanism of action (CO2) actually increases life and, presumably, biodiversity.

Hmmm....
Thank you Sir. Even though we knew all of this decades ago it is good to remind everyone that the scam is real.
Giving up the climate change scare will be even harder than admitting the truth about COVID origins and coverups.
