Studies show: Trees are the true air conditioners. Under a tree, the temperature can be 15 C° cooler than measured in the ambient air. Shade and evaporation create the same effect as a conventional A/C, but without electricity. A tree produces about 20-30 KW/h, as much as ten A/C

A study from 2025 estimated that forest loss across the tropics has exposed hundreds of millions of people to higher temperatures and contributes to tens of thousands of heat-related deaths annually.

"‘Daunting but doable’: Europe urged to prepare for 3C of global heating"

I can scarcely believe what I am reading, that adapting to 3C of warming is "doable". Only someone who doesn't understand what 3C of warming actually means, could think it "doable".

💔"Problem in Ireland is that we no longer have natural ecosystems. We have cleared away our natural forests, dug out peatlands, converted hills to conifer plantations, drained wetlands, compacted soil under weight of millions of farm animals and straightened rivers to create yet more grazing land"
