Wildfires and insect infestations will be an issue, and they are very difficult to model. Canada has a lot of trees, but they emit more Carbon than they absorb.

  > but they emit more Carbon than they absorb That’s a strange way to put it. The trees form a carbon reservoir. If they burn or decompose then they release carbon. But they cannot grow and release carbon indefinitely. If they emit carbon long enough then there won’t be trees left. On the other hand if the total mass of trees grows long enough they will have trapped more carbon.
