Other scientists see the value of simpler tools: shovels and paintbrushes.
The shovels are for planting trees, whose shade has been shown to lower air temperatures in sweltering cities by up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit; the brushes for painting rooftops and other dark surfaces light colors that limit the absorption of temperature-raising sunlight. More trees and more reflective surfaces won’t stop climate change. But they could refashion cities for a warming world, tempering what scientists call “heat islands” caused by heat-absorbing rooftops, building materials and roads that make urban areas hotter than the surrounding countryside.
Stupidest idea ever! Tar a living organism because our mistakes. you know you suffocate the tree like that. how about painting the asphalt white or stop covering up the natural ground that absorbs the heat. Is it lack of intelligence or caring!
