Deforestation Changes Climate Via Albedo

GR:  As stated in the article, “models cannot accurately reproduce local climate effects due to their coarse spatial resolution and uncertainties, and field observations are valuable but often insufficient due to their limited coverage.”  My advice is to make more field observations, many more.  Satellite imagery can tell us very few things.  Quantifying albedo changes due to deforestation is hardly valuable enough to justify the cost of the satellites.  Spend the money on the ground.  We need surveys of plant and animal species so we can judge their health and safety.  We can’t get these from space.
