I don’t mind them planting trees as long as they aren’t using my money to do it. I’ve got several maple saplings around the edges of the yard they can have if they come and get them.

How much “struggling” are these cities actually doing with climate change? Perhaps the mayors can provide a few specific examples. (I sincerely doubt that they can.)

Climate change IS nature. It is not nice to fool mother nature, but planting more trees does help her.

I have a friend who lives in town where they planted trees along the curb. Almost all of them died in the drought the next year except for the one in front of my friend’s house.
This spring the city came along and dug it up because they thought there might be a leaky water main under it keeping it alive.

If those cities were sincere-which they are not-the first thing they should do is quit wasting so much water-especially on non-native plantings-and plant drought tolerant native species instead.
They could also stop cramming so many people into so little space-encourage more people to live outside the city and commute to work-I did it for years, till I got work here...

No, it was alive because my friend watered it through the drought.

many from cities already struggling with climate-change effects More like sensing an opportunity to fleece the taxpayers again.

Best idea I’ve heard all week. That’ll stop pollution big time.

"maintain a healthy tree cover"
Yep. Water those trees more in Arizona, California and Texas. Those trees need lots of water.

There wasn’t a whole lot he could do, It was on the strip between the sidewalk and the curb.
It was some kind of maple tree which are fine here in Michigan but they were planted at the start of the driest summer I’ve seen here.

They can maintain cover by planting drought tolerant trees, but that would make too much sense-especially in the desert cities...
