Of course I noticed. I noticed that the world has become a lot greener due to the increased CO₂ content in the atmosphere [1,2] which used to be seen as a good thing but somehow now is presented as a problem [3]. From Malthus to Gore, from the Silent Spring to Extinction Rebellion, eschatologists have been around for a long, very long time yet... Earth abides. Mankind abides.

You are strawmanning an opinion about a single metric.

Sure, molds are great for the environment! Molds in your lunchbox? not so much. You have built a whole narrative out of sparsely collected news pieces on a single issue.

Green is good for the environment because the plants absorb the CO2. You have cause and effect backwards.

Not to mention, you neglect the waves of climate refugees who will be on your farm's land as soon as their not-Sweden cannot produce the crops that your land provides.
