OK, according to the article, the authors of one study say:
- Trees planted above a certain latitude may contain heat, instead of reflect it (as snow does)
- A computer model suggests that large amounts of trees in these particular areas may raise the average temperature in those areas by 3 degrees C
In other words, we should consider where we are planting trees, if further studies come to the same conclusion. Also, your article points out that we should focus on cutting down our CO2 emissions, instead of thinking that planting trees will give us a free pass to continue polluting at the same rate.
It's an interesting article, but I don't understand what your point is, or why it's worth starting yet another snide, sarcastic thread over.
