A study from NASA of the heat island effect. Note how powerful even small trees isolated in their own tree island are at lowering the immediate temperatures. Wow.

Makes me want to plant a(nother) tree.

I assume that with a study, people will be more inclined to plant those trees in the median, even though there isn't enough density to get a forest and you have to deal with broken branches falling on the street.

Now there are numbers to assign to the "benefit" of the cost-benefit analysis.
