Back in the 1970s two popular bumper stickers were "Stumps Don't Lie' and 'Big Trees Make Rain'. Comes now today's S0 where we find:

engineering.princeton.edu: Planting forests may cool the planet more than thought )By Liana Wait for the High Meadows Environmental Institute -- August 9, 2021)
Quote:
Princeton University researchers found that greater formation of clouds over forested areas suggests that reforestation would likely be more effective at cooling Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought. The findings address a concern among scientists that because forests absorb solar radiation, reforesting temperate latitudes could in fact make the planet warmer.
