Thanks to carbon dioxide, the Gross Primary Production and Net Primary Production, both indicators of biological life on the planet, are the highest in decades. GPP and NPP are daily measures of the planet’s output - the amount of new plant matter on land. 25% of the Earth’s landmasses saw gains while only 7% saw declines. I’d call this a success among carbon emitters everywhere.

A social and fiscal conservative, I scour the news for information that disputes the current man-made global warming indoctrination that takes place around the world. I take a rather sarcastic approach to reporting on the nonsense being spewed by the talking heads in the media and the governments around the world.
