I'm just surprised because somebody said that the concrete soaked up so much carbon that the trees alongside it in the biosphere were unable to grow. That sounds like a lot of carbon. Like, a lot. I'd expect that it would have to absorb enough carbon that it could displace some amount of the volume that it would have appeared as in tree form. Can you fit a third of a small forest into the concrete around that small forest? It seems unlikely.
