Did you know that without forests, the 🌎 would be one degree hotter? To cool down the temperature around them, trees release gases which form tiny particles that help cloud droplets form. Here's Dr Cat Scott from University of Leeds with more on how this works 📽️👇
Struggling to see what this has to do with energy security. Are you going to plant trees to produce energy. More money wasted on a quango department.
That's a really interesting point about the cooling effect of forests! It's incredible how trees can influence cloud formation and help moderate temperatures. Thanks for sharing this insight! 🌳☁
Forests play a crucial role in regulating our planet's temperature! 🌳🌍 It's fascinating to think about trees helping cool the Earth by influencing cloud formation. Thanks to Dr. Cat Scott for shedding light on this important topic. 📽️
Great to hear more about the science behind this. Trees in urban areas have a big impact on cooling cities
Fascinating, I had no idea!

Passionate about Solar …….. ………in the right place!
1moAnd is it also correct that Solar panels are significantly warmer than the surrounding vegetation. When thousands of acres of farmland are covered in solar panels, local temperatures are likely to rise, much like how cities are hotter than rural areas due to the "urban heat island" effect. This happens because solar panels, which have a low efficiency rate, release about four units of heat into the atmosphere for every unit of electricity they produce. But there’s a solution! Instead of covering our valuable crops with solar panels, we can place them on rooftops. This way, we harness clean energy without compromising our farmland or increasing local temperatures. Join us in advocating for smarter solar solutions that benefit both our environment and our community! 🌱🏡
