Trees?

• Redoubts 10y ago
  We'd need a lot of trees In 2000, the IPCC gathered the available evidence for a special report which concluded that tree-planting could sequester (remove from the atmosphere) around 1.1–1.6 GT of CO2 per year. That compares to total global greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 50 GT of CO2 in 2004. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/nov/29/planting-trees-climate-change https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/nov/29/planting...

    Just to avoid confusion, that's 50GT due to human activities. http://climatica.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IPCC_WG3_SPM_Figure_1.png http://climatica.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IPCC_WG3_... (FOLU is forestry and other land use)

  It takes costs to plant those trees so that'd cut down on the "profit" part of the equation.
