Several studies have suggested that reforestation of a trillion trees could potentially remove a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. For instance, a study published in Science found that there's enough suitable unused land on the globe for reforestation to

Trees play a significant role in regulating the global temperature by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This process helps mitigate the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming.

Reforestation has a significant cooling effect on the planet, particularly in the areas where trees are planted. In the past century, reforestation in the eastern United States has contributed to a 'warming hole' by keeping the region cooler than it would have been otherwise. The

Climate change is increasing floods primarily through two key mechanisms: more intense rainfall and changes in land cover, particularly deforestation.

More intense rainfall: As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture, leading to more intense rainfall events. For every
