Images gathered by NASA show an increase in foliage in China and India.

To discuss:

  • Bob Ward is the Policy Director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change.
  • Dr. Sweta Chakraborty is a risk and behavioral scientist.
  • David Livingston is the Deputy Director for climate and advanced energy at the Atlantic Council.
