Warm Summer Days, Green House Effects and my Truck

It was humid in northern New Jersey today despite a recorded 79 Fahrenheit. But I felt cooler as I commuted back home. I don't turn on my ac most of the time in my commute. I let the ambient air cool me off.

It is the presence of trees that provide the cooler climate. They are carbon neutral, utilizing the CO2 expelled by human beings and animals, NOT from my truck! We in turn consume the O2 expelled by plants to create energy.

I don't know the specific biochemistry behind them but somehow I recognized some significance of those boring college biochemistry class.

Nowadays, it is called green house effects.
