Why not both? Trees in the manner they're describing where it's just helping the forested area expand back out doesn't require human involvement either.
The selfish human reason to want trees as a natural heat regulator is I think alone worth the benefit in areas with lots of asphalt where people will be near.
- 7thaccount 3y agoCities are hot. Cities with lots of mature trees providing shade on the sidewalks make it a lot more bearable.
- falcolas 3y agoMerely eliminating a lot of the black heat sinks (i.e. parking lots) and replacing them with native grasses would do a lot to help keep city temperatures a touch more reasonable. Asphalt both absorbs and radiates heat like mad.
- falcolas 3y agoIf the trees are native to the area, sure. But a tree monoculture doesn't seem to do a lot of good.
