I think it should be important to consider clouds. There are more clouds over forests, and that compensates on average some 40% of the albedo effect, Luo et al. Nat Comms 2024 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
Decreased cloud cover partially offsets the cooling effects of surface albedo change due to deforestation - Nature Communications
This study shows that deforestation locally reduces global low-level and tropical high-level clouds, with the resulting warming partially counteracting the cooling of increased surface albedo.

amazing progress in just one year on understanding air pollution in cities, multifunctionality of ecosystems, aerosols as climate drivers, or the role of heat waves. Excellent keynote by Agnes Tomini from the Aix-Marseille school of economics

By the way, Timo presented their nice paper demonstrating that climate attribution has the potential to change people's attitudes, and that people are even willing to pay for it: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

What a hubris. Leading back to the time before division of labor. The point is of course indeed, we all have to stop believing those in power

I fully agree. Science is not a World Cup with countries competing, but a collaborative effort. We abroad really need the American technology and ideas, and the stimulating exchange.
