- inglor_cz 5y agoOh, yes, no doubt about that. We shouldn't be reducing total tree cover.
- enriquto 5y agobut a stable forest is carbon neutral. The actual removal occurs when you cut the large trees and bury their wood in deep mines.
- incrudible 5y agoWhy would you bury perfectly good wood? What you are talking about already happens, there is net reforestation just due to the demand for wood. As far as pure sequestration goes, fast growing plants like hemp are better candidates.

- FooBarBizBazz 5y agoBetter than burying wood: Make charcoal. Use the waste heat. Put the charcoal back in the soil, so you're not depleting it of phosphates, minerals, or nitrogen. Repeat. Maybe you can even use the waste heat to run the Haber process.
