Throughout my research, I have found many sources that say an effective way to help fight against global warming is to plant more tress. This is because they absorb carbon dioxide which is the gas blamed for global warming. However I have found an article that talks abouts how a new computer simulation "indicates that establishing new forests across North America could provide a cooling effect for a few decades to a century, but that after that, they would lead to more warming." I found this article shocking considering other articles contradict the simulation.
"There's really no simple answer,'' said Ken Caldeira, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology in Stanford, California
