That isn't a very good take. Global emissions are never going to zero. In fact, they've never even trended downward. Dissing initiatives with positive effects in favor of the dream that global emissions may just stop someday does not seem responsible.
It's putting all of one's eggs in one basket, and the basket can't even hold eggs.

- mrpopo 5y agoI don't think you read until the end. Dr Fleischman isn't advocating against planting trees to store carbon. He is against planting trees as a metric, without proper follow up, without consulting local experts, without concerns for local communities, etc. As such, a business focused on the number of trees planted will have the wrong incentives and the results will be counter productive.
