(Natural News) Viral footage on Chinese social media revealed that peasants were ordered to clear forests to make way for arable land, amid fears of worsening food shortages. The person recording the footage said: “We just received a notice that we are required to cut down these trees and grow grains instead, even if financially […]

(Natural News) The global warming narrative is shifting once again as climate change alarmists decry the “greening” of the planet. New climate models released by the University of Michigan claim that increased plant growth around the world due to supposedly warmer temperatures is a bad thing because, get this: it will supposedly boost pollen allergies. […]

(Natural News) In the latest eco-lunacy coming from the lamestream media, CNN is now calling for healthy trees to be cut down and buried in mass graves in order to save the planet. (It’s true. Link below.) This is claimed to be a way to reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, even though CO2 is […]

(Natural News) Various insect species have declined by around one-third in the last 10 years, according to a survey conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany. The decline mainly affects grasslands located near intensively farmed land but also applies to forests and protected areas. The survey researchers collected more than one million insects at grassland and […]

(Natural News) A team led by University of Washington (UW) researchers found that tropical plants with thick leaves respond very well to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Global Geobiochemical Cycles, the researchers detailed how multiple changes in the plants’ leaves preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the […]

(Natural News) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is at a record high. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s actually great for trees and forests, as shown by a recent study led by the nonprofit conservation group World Wide Fund (WWF). The study, which is part of the WWF’s Trillion Trees project, found that an area of […]

(Natural News) The latest Vegetation Index data from NASA shows that the Earth is getting progressively “greener” and lusher over time. The planet is 10 percent greener today than it was in 2000, NASA says, which means better conditions for growing crops. Forests are also expanding while deserts are becoming more fertile and usable for […]

(Natural News) Even before lightning storms opened California’s most destructive fire season to date, pests called bark beetles had been setting the stage for the fires, transforming millions of trees into heaps of dried timber. Experts report that the beetles have infested millions of acres of trees, killing entire forests in the process. They stated that […]

(Natural News) Plants were efficient absorbers of carbon dioxide during the early Miocene – a period with high levels of carbon dioxide, found a study published in the journal Climate of the Past. Researchers from New Zealand analyzed plant fossils from a former lake and discovered that the levels of carbon dioxide at the time exceeded those recorded today. They added […]

(Natural News) Forests and farms around the globe are fighting another crisis: insect infestations. The recent outbreaks of beetles, spotted lanternflies and longhorned ticks across the U.S. and in other countries are killing trees and threatening to decimate crops and infect cattle. Local authorities are hard-pressed to contain the outbreaks and protect resources from further destruction. […]
