11 human emissions are restoring vital atmospheric CO2." The coalition has long promoted the role that saturation plays in tempering the effect of a number of gases with warming properties.Attention is often drawn in its work to the part played by water vapour that makes up around 4% of the atmosphere and contributes as much as 80%of the Earth's vital warming. It saturates over large parts of the IR spectrum, reducing the effect of other gases in their own specific bands. The coalition's board includes the distinguished Professor William Happer, who has long argued the merits of the saturation hypothesis, and it was recently joined by the 2022 Nobel Physics Laureate Dr. John Clauser. Levels of CO2 have been much higher in the past, with evidence of vibrant animal and plant life. Many plants evolved to thrive with higher levels than they feed on today, a period some scientists argue is one of CO2 denudation. In its recently published paper, the coalition observes that the higher the CO2 content in the atmosphere,the greater the pressure from physical processes to drive CO2 into the oceans and vegetation. This is borne out by considerable evidence, although the recent substantial 'greening' of the planet is largely hidden from readers reliant on mainstream media. In fact the new 'green revolution' is feeding the world. The authors of a recent science paper, Charles Taylor and Wolfram Schlenker, state: "We consistently find a large fertilisation effect; a 1 ppm increase in CO2 equates to a 0.4%, 0.6%, 1% yield increase for corn, soybean and wheat respectively." The heavy greening of the Earth can be seen in a map first published in Donohue/CSIRO 2015 and republished in another recent paper from the CO2 Coalition. This examined the nutritive value of plants growing in enhanced CO2 concentrations. Deserts 'greening' from rising CO2 r . 20% 10% s 4r _10% -20% The map was produced from satellite leaf data and shows that greening between 1982-2012 grew by 20-30% in India, West Australia, the Sahel and the Anatolian highlands. A more recent paper Chen et al. 2024 found that greening had actually accelerated in the last two decades. The increase in CO2 was found to be the dominant driver of the positive trend of the Leaf Area Index over most of the global land surface.
