"Replanting forests can help cool the planet even more than some scientists once believed, especially in the tropics," according to a recent announcement from the University of California, Riverside. In a new modeling study published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, showed that restoring forests to their preindustrial extent could lower global average temperatures by 0.34 degrees Celsius. The Washington Post noted that the researchers factored in how tree emissions interacted with molecules in the atmosphere, " encouraging cloud production, reflecting sunlight and cooling Earth's surface."
