Plants have “lungs” and humans have influenced the way they breathe, study says

Experts from the University of Sheffield in the U.K. have revealed how plants provide air to every cell in their bodies. Furthermore, they point out that human intervention has influenced how plants breathe. The study was headed by Andrew Fleming, a professor at Sheffield’s Institute for Sustainable Food. Their study was published in the journal Nature Communications. Plants require a […]

Climate-based courting: Trees take note of climate when establishing symbiotic relationships

Plants such as trees form symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi in the soil, with the latter helping capture nutrients and minerals from the environment. In turn, the tree shares some of the food that it produces using the energy of the sun with these bacteria and fungi. Now, a study published in the journal Nature demonstrates that […]

More than one-fifth of plant species are classified as “threatened” due to human-induced habitat loss

At the rate that plants are disappearing, experts warn that in the future, the idiom “God’s green earth” may end up becoming just a figure of speech and nothing more. According to a recent paper published in the journal Nature, Ecology and Evolution, 571 plant species are no longer found on Earth — more than twice […]

Unusual ways to address deforestation: Proposed bill in the Philippines requires students to plant 10 trees before they can graduate

A proposed bill in the Philippines could provide schools with an eco-friendly premise, once it’s passed into law: Students in both high school and college would need to plant at least 10 trees each to cement their spot in the graduation ceremonies. The bill, which has already passed the lower house of Congress, will seek to formalize […]

Trees in cities grow fast but die young, unlike rural trees: Existing trees must be preserved and cared for, advise researchers

In recent years, more and more cities have adopted green initiatives to combat the effects of massive urbanization on the environment. These green initiatives employ projects such as planting more trees along streets and city parks, among others. However, a recent study published in PLOS ONE revealed that urban trees are different from trees growing in rural […]

Human intervention has made forests less resistant to drought, pests, wildfire

Wildfire ravaged the state of California during the third quarter until the middle of the fourth quarter of 2018. By far, it was the deadliest the state has experienced, killing over 85 people. The fire did not discriminate between the rich and the poor; it hit both depressed and affluent communities. Approximately five million acres […]

Science lesson for so-called “environmentalists” – Nearly all plant life depends on photosynthesis, which requires on carbon dioxide

Your carbon footprint: It seems like we hear those three words at least once a day. We are made to feel that just going about the daily business of living is having devastating effects on the planet. If all the articles in the mainstream media are to be believed, we should all be feeling really […]

Rising CO2 levels are re-GREENING the Earth with huge gains in forest coverage across the Earth’s surface

If you pay attention to the mainstream media or you’ve suffered through the ramblings of the Hollywood elite, you’ve probably heard a common refrain: Carbon is the enemy. Blaming it for all the woes our environment is currently experiencing, they claim that if we could just reduce the carbon levels on our planet, all would […]

Science study: Rising CO2 producing “miracle” re-greening effects across the planet as global tree cover rapidly EXPANDS

Climate change myth pushers are scientifically illiterate propagandists who have brainwashed themselves against all scientific reality to somehow believe that carbon dioxide is a poison to plants. In truth, it’s the “greening” molecule for the planet, as I’ve repeatedly explained in multiple climate videos, podcasts and climate articles. Now, new science published in Nature demonstrates […]

California is burning because of failed, ill-conceived left-wing “global warming” policies

Wildfires are swallowing up the West Coast, with the states of California and Oregon facing thousands upon thousands of acres of blazing forests. So far, 13 fires have taken over 185,000 acres of land in Oregon, while California has been fighting 19 wildfires and numerous “fire whirls,” or tornadoes made of fire. Over 577,000 acres […]
