Is It Clouds, Shipping or a Volcano? Potential Reasons for Record Heat 1224.rtf

By Fighting the Ozone Hole, We Accidentally Saved Ourselves 0523 from another 1°C of surface heating by 2100, by CFCs and their substitutes.

More Forest Cover May Not Aid Cooling in Some Regions 0221 - Forest is dark, so it absorbs more sunlight, converting it to heat. What it replaces is not as dark, so afforestation’s albedo effect is to warm Earth’s surface. That operates in the opposite direction from trees removing CO2 from the air. The balance (+ or - °C) is an empirical matter and depends on local factors.
