I was mainly thinking of construction resulting from unilateral action. Obviously we aren't going to lazily get there building one at a time. Forest building is great, but to sink similar amounts of carbon, you'd need to plant tens of billions of acres of new plants every year. Essentially, the same amount of plants that we're burning the ancient corpses of.

Right, I just think scaling construction of these facilities would require infrastructure that could take a decade plus to get right. You are right forestry is not the place we should focus right now. The main problem right now is turning off coal plants, among other CO2 reduction strategies.
