engineering.princeton.edu: Planting forests may cool the planet more than thought )By Liana Wait for the High Meadows Environmental Institute -- August 9, 2021)

The findings address a concern among scientists that because forests absorb solar radiation, reforesting temperate latitudes could in fact make the planet warmer.
