It's impossible to plant enough trees to consume all the CO2 we've dug out of the ground and still have human civilization not starve. That would require going back to forestation levels even greater than that of a pre-industrial era. More so trees aren't a permanent carbon sink. They get knocked over, get burned in forest fires, and their leaf litter decomposes, all releasing the CO2 back into the atmosphere.
