350m down (before considering how many actually turn into trees and survive), another 999.65 billion to go ... so what's everybody else doing?

- wang_li 7y ago> so what's everybody else doing? Based on the thread from yesterday, they're pushing for carbon taxes because that will solve everything. /s It always astonishes me how central government control is the only possible solution. Even if planting tree isn't going to solve climate change tomorrow, it does increase the amount of CO2 that is subtracted from the atmosphere, trees provide living spaces for numerous types of wildlife, they help prevent erosion. Given how many benefits there are to trees, people should be planting them even if they did nothing for moderating green house gases. The only thing they don't do is provide control and opportunities for graft. So I guess it makes sense that some people will poo-poo tree planting in favor of enriching their team.
