Conclusion:
"In conclusion, based on the latest remote sensing data, we explored the important issue of global vegetation change trends after 2000. Importantly, we introduced the concept of growth rate to characterize the rate of greening/browning. Our results showed that the global greening was still present in 2001–2020, with 55.15% of areas greening at an accelerated rate, mainly concentrated in India and the European plains, compared with 7.28% of browning. Multiple linear regression and partial correlation analysis agreed that CO2 dominated the LAI trend, while climate change determined the LAI growth rate trend. By analyzing different sub-regions of the globe, we found that the drought trend only slowed down global greening, but was far from triggering browning. These findings will improve our understanding of the processes within carbon cycle and narrow the research gap of better defining if the status of global vegetation is greening or browning in recent two decades."

As I have posted here many times: "If we have to choose between Global Warming or Global Cooling, we definitely want Global Warming. Why? because we need plants to eat. Global Warming increase farmable land and causes more rain. CO2 is "life" for plants and plants are "life" for humans."
