Reforestation is a red herring. Trees don't sequester much if they burn or when they die. Plus, soot from forest fires rapidly accelerates deglaciation and polar ice melting, leading to increasingly-volatile weather as the jet stream patterns destabilize from a lack of cold thermal mass at the poles. Let nature do most of the hard work and sink the results.
The most cost-effective way to solve climate change is automated "farming" of GMO oceanic biomass for CCS.
