Claiming tree planting is a effective strategy for Ireland is just hogwash! Tree planting is primarily about managing the current carbon excess, of course it does noting to reduce our excessive emissions. It seems Ireland in particular is especially bad at actually combatting emissions, so the tree planting is supposed to provide the fig leaf to hide behind; funny that they go with spruce. But yeah, looks like pretty bog standard spruce forest, though it seems these are actually tree plantations and not forests.
