You can't outrun a bad diet. Sure we can plant a ton of trees to recapture carbon, but we also need to cut down emissions.

- llebttam 7y agoI agree, but I still think of this as a useful part of a complete solution. It's something that buys us time to shift away from fossil fuels. With current tech, we could drastically reduce emissions by moving to a mix of nuclear (the modern, safe kind) for baseload plus wind and solar for peak, but it's going to take few decades to build it all out, and during the intervening period we have a lot of excess CO2 we need to sequester.
