The video discusses the continuous rise in global atmospheric CO2 levels and how plants are using this extra CO2 to enhance their growth. American satellites have observed a significant greening of Earth's vegetated land over the past 33 years, with only a small percentage experiencing losses. The additional leaves from increased CO2 could cover two continental USA's. However, researchers warn that plants may eventually acclimatize to higher CO2 levels, limiting further growth. Future plant growth will also be constrained by water and nutrient availability, which are likely to be affected by climate change.
