Just keep in mind that trees wick moisture out of the ground. Massive tree planting would lead to ecological disaster.

On the other hand, trees provide shade for the surrounding ground which reduces surface temperature resulting in a lower evaporation rate. I think the net outcome would depend on the soil conditions in the particular area. Deep soil which can absorb rainwater should support the trees.

And just exactly what does this have to do with a liberal cause?
