Is planting trees really an effective weapon to fight climate change? We met experts in northern Italy to hear their views in our latest episode of Climate Now. Watch the report in the player above.
But before we dive into the woods, let's have a quick look at the latest data for February from the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Globally, February wasn't as warm as it has been for the past five years. Temperatures were under 0.1 degrees Celsius above the new 1991-2020 average.
However, it was an extraordinary month for extreme temperature changes. Across central and southern parts of the United States, it was much colder than average, with Arctic weather stretching right down into Texas. It was also much colder than average in Siberia and then warmer in Greenland.
