In the news: Trees increase global warming

I just read an article that says “Tree increase global warming” if this is true then we are really really screwed. Why? Because deforestation is “cause” of global warming, so if replanting the trees also makes global warming worse, then global temperature should start rising exponentially any minute now. I can already cook eggs on the sidewalk in the summer, so in a few years I should be able to bake bread on the sidewalk too. Or perhaps scientists need to realize that modeling the global climate with the information and resources we have available is futile. When they can predict Tuesday’s weather accurately on Sunday, perhaps I will believe they have a handle on climatological modeling.
