A team of meteorologists and atmospheric scientists at Nanjing University, in China, has found via modeling that planting trees in certain areas to reduce local temperatures is more effective if air pollution levels are reduced. In their study, reported in the journal Nature Geoscience, the group built climate models to measure estimated local temperature changes after planting trees with and without drops in air pollution levels.
