#1 makes no sense: reducing temperature by 30% means going from 40°C to -54°C i.e. from 313K to 219K. In order to compare temperatures you need to use absolute temps. CURRENTLY_RATED_NOT_HELPFUL(3-2-42) Author

The suggested note shows a lack of understanding of basic maths. 30% of 40° is 12°. Therefore, a reduction of 30% would reduce the temperature to 28°. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(13-1-20) Author

NNN. No reasonable person measures change in room temp in Kelvin. Measuring temp change in % from a baseline °F/°C is intuitive to most people. Though OP is unclearly phrased, studies comparing more vs less forested streets (same time/city) show an approx 30%↓ in air temp. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(22-3-11) Author

#1 may be attempting to claim that trees reduce the Fahrenheit temp by 30% under unspecified conditions, however the % reduction in Celsius would be different and the absolute temperature reduction, measured in degrees Kelvin or Rankine, would surely be much less than 30% CURRENTLY_RATED_NOT_HELPFUL(0-1-31) Author

Using percentages in °C or °F is nonsensical, because the zero-point is arbitrary in both scales. We have to use an absolute scale like Kelvin. E.g.: What is the energy increase from 1°C to 2°C? The numeral suggests the answer is 200% (double), but it's actually less than 0.4%. [Link] CURRENTLY_RATED_NOT_HELPFUL(1-0-9) Author
