"Unveiling the Impact: Trees' Revelation Disrupts Climate Calculations, while AI Advances Hurricane Forecasting"

TL;DR
Scientists at CERN have discovered that trees release a type of chemical called sesquiterpenes, which are more effective than expected in seeding clouds. This finding suggests that trees play a significant role in cloud formation and could help refine estimates of the atmosphere before industrialization. The research highlights the need to better understand the composition of a "pristine" atmosphere and may require adjustments to climate models.
