Climate change is in the news. Europe has experienced the highest summer temperatures in recent history and the ice sheets on Greenland are melting at an accelerated rate. In my new neighborhood, a few older spruce trees were removed due to disease. Even though, they weren’t healthy, I immediately could feel the temperature difference when they were gone. Shade trees can cool the air beneath by 8 degrees! Instead of 90, 82 degrees feels pretty good.
So plant a tree and care for it. For more information, read this blog from Science Friday on things you can do to make a difference: https://mailchi.mp/sciencefriday/degrees-of-changeclimate-change-affects-every-community-differently-301913?e=22430bedd7
