Who will be the winners in the hot, deforested, carbon dioxide-- enveloped world of the future? It won't necessarily...

...Plant trees and shrubs around your house. They not only provide shade, which lowers energy consumption, but also store carbon. One deciduous tree can remove 50 lbs. of carbon from the atmosphere annually...

"Phase change--when there's ice--is really the key," says Rob Macdonald, a Department of Fisheries and Oceans research scientist who studies carbon and contaminant cycling...
