Where I live the forest effectively disappears every autumn, and then it gets really cold. Six months later the forest grows back and then it gets really hot. The ambient temperature is obviously intimately correlated with the presence or absence of the forest.
Amusing but obviously flawed - the science here is about the long time period correlations of mean forest coverage and mean regional tempretures (as you very likely are aware), not the short term seasonal cycle.
I chuckled .. others downvoted. Humour on HN is hard :/
