It is not "misleading" when the scientific evidence collected via NASA's satellites is that CO2 fertilization has been measurably greening the continents for decades: "From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide." [1]
Anyone who studies the biology and evolution of plants, as well as the actual constraints of their growth processes, will understand why this gigantic transformation has been happening. There are similar measurements of major increases in ocean plankton over the last decades.
