You cannot just infinitely accumulate trees. In a steady state, forests neither sequester nor release carbon.

- sliverstorm 11y agoNo, but you can still increase the amount of sequestered carbon by expanding forestland, as forest is a carbon sink. We can control atmospheric carbon by reducing emissions, but we can also control it by sequestering more carbon, which more forestland can help do.
