I don't think we are talking about global warming, tree are very good at local climate control. The shade plus evaporation from the leaves can lower the temperature by several degrees.

In this study they observed that cities area with trees can be up to 12°C cooler than area without trees. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2298675-trees-cool-the-land-surface-temperature-of-cities-by-up-to-12c/
