    If this is true, I have questions about Ecosia tree planting efforts.

    Ecosia supports over 20 tree-planting projects in 15 different countries; Peru, Brazil, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Haiti, Colombia, Spain, Morocco, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Indonesia.

    If the map from the article is true, that would mean that planting trees in Morocco, Senegal, Kenya and parts of Ethiopia are actually counter productive and will increase climate than reducing it.

      This article talks about albedo but ignores changes in the water cycle. I wouldn’t take its results at face value.
