I think it's more millions of years than decades. And tree is a very short term solution, because they die and release all the carbon they absorbed as they rot

- snickerer 5y agoThis is true, but you can do it as a long term solution. Just change a non-forest area into a forest area and keep it this way long term. Trees will die in this area but will be replaced by new trees automatically. So you have an amount of CO² bound to this forest long term.
