"Green" is a 2-D layer of colour in a photograph.

"Forest" is a 3-D bulk tonnage of captured (for now at least) carbon dioxide.

This increase in the colour green that you tout hasn't made a dent in reducing the ever increasing amount of insulating CO2 in the atmosphere.

Otherwise yellow grasses being greener due to increased CO2 is of some small interest, but it's not the same as a similar area X height of large trees in terms of capture.

Just pragmnatic facts, not a "convenient" or "inconvenient" "truth".

Nice attempt at a tangent, pity it fell flat.
