Question

Do you think afforestation will have global impact on the climate?

Answer 1

Answer:

AFFORESTATION, a key climate change reduction strategy recommended by the United Nations, will not have much effect on global temperatures. Instead, if carried out in high altitudes, it may lead to climate warming, according to a study carried out by scientists in Canada.

Answer 2

No, afforestation will not have a global impact on climate.

• The United Nations' primary recommendation for reducing climate change, AFFORESTATION, won't have much of an impact on world temperatures. Instead, a study conducted by scientists in Canada found that it might result in climate warming if done at high elevations.
• Planting trees will help decrease climate change and global warming, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). However, existing accounting procedures for carbon credits against forestry activities do not account for factors like alterations in soil surface and evapotranspiration.
• These factors, according to the researchers, are critical because while trees do absorb carbon from the atmosphere, their dark leaves and needles also reduce the amount of solar radiation reflected by the land, which has a warming effect.

Hence, the answer is no because although planting trees is important, it alone cannot have global impact on climate.
