Wouldn’t more CO2 be green?

We’ve all seen it.  Al Gore has shoved it down our throats as have countless other outlets.  The general consensus is that carbon emissions are bad.  They are bad because they warm the planet.

Here is where  I get confused.  Please explain this to me and I’ll try to understand.  Here goes:

If the Earth is warmer more things (plants) will grow.  If more plants grow the Earth is greener.

Right?

Right?!

If the Earth is cold, it will look like your yard does now in Mid-January.  Brown.  Brown isn’t green.  Brown is dead.  Now I know, I know, it’s just a ‘buzz-word’.  It’s a catchy, cool, trendy, “we’ll charge a lot more more for ‘green’ products and you’ll still buy them” thing but COME ON!

So, please.  For the sake of being technical.  Don’t say you’re “green” now.  Say you’re brown or blue, you know, like the color of ice or dead things.

If you want green then you better start warming the Earth MORE!
