~30% of which is from ongoing deforestation, unless the quoted ~25 gigatons is from fossil fuels only?
- renewiltord 6y agoThere are 200 gigatons of forest in the world. We net 8 gigatons each year. So in 25 years we will have no forest if all this is true. That conclusion is absurd.

- renewiltord 6y agoYeah, just through sheer arithmetic not all the parent comments can be right.
- mrosett 6y agoMy understanding is that we’ve been net reforesting worldwide for the last few decades.
