The US grows corn on 90 million acres of land [1], and a third of the corn production is used to produce ethanol [2]. That’s 30 million acres that we use right now to supposedly combat climate change. Except that all the carbon that that corn scrubs from the air is then put in gas tanks and promptly burned. If we replace that with forrests, you could get 3 billion trees. This just by repurposing land that was already dedicated to carbon capture. They say we need 1 trillion trees to get to net zero emissions.
