So how do people not see that cutting as many trees down as we do in this world will make it warmer!? " I mean seriously it is common sense. Asphalt radiates heat so if we keep making more and more of our earth asphalt it is going to retain heat and radiate it back at us. I just don't get how any one can argue that this isn't making our climate warmer than it would be if we left everything au natural.

My town cuts all the trees down in our neighborhood near the street. Got rid of trees over 100 years old that were huge and provided shade. Now my house is hotter than ever in this heat and there's nothing I can do to cool it off the sun and asphalt make it an oven.
