With the realities of science denial, publishing such a paper is borderline irresponsible. Those who have an interest in keeping up burning carbon will point to papers like this ("NASA says!") as "evidence" that we can continue on our current path.
The key line for those who don't read the article: "Scientists say that global greening since the early 1980s may have reduced global warming by as much as 0.2° to 0.25° Celsius (0.36° to 0.45° Fahrenheit). In other words, the world would be even warmer than it is if not for the surge in plant growth." The surge in plant growth is a result of increased amount of CO2 in the air as a result of anthropogenic activity. Q…
Couple of questions because I'm curious...
What percentage of the 0.04% CO2 in Earth's atmosphere do humans contribute?
Has it yet been absolutely proven 100% that a gas comprising 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere is the main culprit/control knob which controls climate(s) around the Earth?

Professional bullshit peddlers can still peddle bullshit without any help from misinterpretable facts. However, if you lie/censor and are discovered, the facts will be on their side. Tiny upside, large downside -- I plug those numbers into my calculator and it makes a frowny face.

Edit: for those struggling with the irony, my comment is pro-questions and pro-heresy. Let's not attack people for asking questions

They mention growing season. I wonder if growing seasons have been extended too.
You are correct. This has been known already 24 years ago:
