Planting Trillions of Trees will Cancel Out Decades of CO2 Emission say Scientists

[MEDITATE]

well, countries can construct high rise buildings and plant tree in them .... something like this

Would ride bike or turn turbines for shorter jail time.

Forget planting trees, let's just power the fans in a carbon capture system with human hamster wheels for the obese poor.

So many problems addressed in one go.

from a COMPLETELY ignore point of view...how does the CO2 way up in the atmosphere get down to the 0-100 feet where the trees are?
is it always moving and mixing around? I have no idea

C02 is in the air at ground level, but also in bodies of water. C02 gets into the atmosphere by evaporation of lakes and oceans primarily, and comes back down with rain.

I'm onboard with planting trees everywhere possible

A trillion trees? Do ya'll actually know how big that number is? lmao

That's every single person on earth (7.5b) each planting 400 trees

always lol when western countries talk about "reducing CO2", meanwhile do you think China gives a fuk?? hint: they dont, and they still keep producing chit ton amout of CO2 with no care

Make China reduce their CO2 and then we talk

This would be ridiculous even if it were true which it isn't at all

Like a kid saying 'waaaah he isn't doing it mum'

The West needs to show global leadership on this. It's pathetic to point to some other country that may not be doing something right as an excuse for why you should not do it.

The US is also by far the biggest historical contributor to C02 emissions, with Europe close behind. Given the fact that a large portion of C02 stays in the atmosphere for a looooong ass time, I'd say that confers some responsibility.

Meanwhile China is leading the world in renewables and is on track to drastically cut emissions and its reliance on coal in the coming decades. The US pulling out of Paris left a void that they are filling.

Growing up, I used to deer hunt in the woods on the old hammermill paper company property. They already do this en masse. Each year they clear one parcel if land of trees, while planting on last year's cleared parcel. They rotate through and by the time they come back, the trees are mature enough to harvest. Wouldn't be too hard to scale up their process.
