Global warming and forests
From the desk of emeritus professor Philip Stott: the last glacial maximum vegetation map shows the world only became significantly forested with the global warming that followed the end of the glaciation. So a couple of questions arise:
- If the spread of forests is a characteristic of global warming, why then are forests and trees seen as a counter to ‘global warming’?”
- Which follows which, the trees the climate or the climate the trees?
