You probably are well aware of climate change and the discussion around it.

Have you ever thought about the consequences implied if CO₂ would not be the cause for it?

This website (book) is intended to discuss another (in my opinion) more probable cause for climate change.

This is an urgent discussion: It might be that we are taking completely wrong steps and worsening the problem.

My Argumentation in a Nutshell

One of the major mechanisms of heat transport into the upper atmosphere is water evaporation. The water cycle contributes a significant proportion of heat transported upwards from Earth's surface.

Trees are a significant enhancer of the water cycle. They suck water from the ground, which evaporates through their leaves, condenses in the upper atmosphere and forms clouds. These clouds reflect sunlight and form rain that replenishes the water needed by trees. The transportation of heat by evaporation/condensation is a powerful "heat pump" that carries energy to the upper atmosphere, where it can dissipate by radiation into space. Sunlight reflected by the clouds does not reach the surface, which also conttributes to a cooling effect.

The massive logging of forests on our planet has significantly disrupted this water cycle. This has lead to a slowering of the heat transport into the upper atmosphere, which has an increased surface temperature as a consequence.
