The global CO2 production dwarfs what you could do with trees, I'm fairly certain even if we planted a tree on every square centimeter available, it would not be sufficient to counter our production sufficiently.
What we need is to invest in technology to reduce CO2. Nuclear fusion/fission, solar, wind, electric or alternative fuel cars, redesign CO2 industry processes, etc.
The petrol and coal industry would have to go entirely bankrupt. No exceptions.
- agumonkey 8y agoIf you understand French, there's an engineer called Jean-Marc Jancovici who is deep into the 'nuclear is the only solution so far'. He made talks on youtube on how to decarbonate economies.
- zaarn 8y agoI don't think nuclear will be the only solution, solar and wind may be useful in a post-fusion-energy world.
- agumonkey 8y agohis point is that by looking at numbers, solar and other renewables are orders of magnitude off from being enough. With today's energy consumption of course. If we change our ways, models can be remade.
