       #Trees do more than just sequester #carbon, indeed that's the least benefit they bring in the war on #GlobalWarming / #GlobalHeating / #ClimateEmergency. They modulate weather patterns at small & large scales:* Cooling surface temperatures* Increasing cloud cover and albedo* Reducing cirrus cloud (the kind that warms us more than it cools)* In sufficient numbers, trees directly pump rainclouds inland, spreading growth and sequestration even into deserts and dustbowls!http://www.fao.org/in-action/forest-and-water-programme/news/news-detail/en/c/470213
