Planting Trees Won’t Stop Climate Change
- IXxXI 6y agoClimate change is driven by more than 50% of natural forests being eliminated and replaced with cities, malls and roads. Planting trees in desert regions like the middle east can and would stabilize climate change if enough volume could be sustained.
- eutropia 6y agoCorrect. Trees act as a buffer, to soak up and delay the carbon from releasing into the atmosphere until the tree decays. But it can't hurt to buy some time for us to have better approaches to permanently removing carbon from the natural cycle.
