Exactly.
Mitigation, that would be reducing emissions.
At this point, scientists have more evidence that planting trees helps with adaptations.
And it's not just about heat.
There's something else these pocket forests can help with when it comes to adaptation.
In Attleboro, that town in Massachusetts that was doing the planting, they had a flood in that area in 2023.
Residents in Attleboro spoke about terrible flooding.
In the nearby town of North Attleboro, almost a foot of rain fell in town and that water didn't drain.
Around 200 homes were flooded or damaged.
And as we know from climate science, the atmosphere is getting hotter because of those greenhouse gases and droughts.
That hotter atmosphere holds more moisture, and this makes rainstorms and flooding more intense.
So residents hope that these pocket forests, like the one they just planted, will be able to soak up more moisture from future floods.
Yeah, you know, the reality is people want their federal governments to do more.
According to a survey from Oxford in 2024, 80% of people worldwide, they want stronger climate action from their governments.
But if you're in a place like the U.S.
where your federal government isn't acting on climate change in the way you like, what these stories show us is that there are ways to take local level actions that will have concrete impacts on climate emissions and on adapting to climate change right now.
