EARTH DAY!
Forests are not merely carbon sinks to help purify our air. Trees also play a vital role in keeping our air (and planet) cool - satellite imagery shows increased low level clouds over forested areas.
"Researchers from the US and Colombia found that overall forests keep the planet at least half of a degree Celsius cooler when biophysical effects – from chemical compounds to turbulence and the reflection of light – are combined with carbon dioxide."
