A peer-reviewed study by Williams and his team, &#8220;Climate Impacts of U.S. Forest Loss Span Net Warming to Net Cooling,&#8221; published today (Feb. 12) in Science Advances. The team&#8217;s discovery has important implications for policy and management efforts that are turning to forests to mitigate climate change.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-02-trees-cooler-planet-geographer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">More trees do not always create a cooler planet, geographer finds<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research by Christopher A.
