Now try to watch any nature documentary to calm your nerves after a day in this stressful modern life, and be hit with the mandatory climate change doomsday warnings. Usually at the end of every documentary, so to mitigate any risk that the watcher would have relaxed for a good nights sleep from watching nature.

I recall a conversation I had with a climate researcher some years ago in France that left me surprised. To paraphrase, they explained that forecasting a system as complex as the climate is difficult and naturally leads to many different outcomes.

One subset of those outcomes, is that conditions would arise such that plant development is accelerated, something like a junglification (my word, probably butchering it).

Here's an article related to this, that links to research: https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/430230-accelerated-rates...

It's loosely related to how people always have to repeat some idea, almost in a ritualistic way.
