I've explained why pretty clearly. Trees are not a renewable resource in the context of climate change. They take dozens of years to grow, they are part of an biodiverse ecosystem, and just cutting down forests has a much bigger effect on the ecosystem and its carbon sequestration capacity than the tree alone. And don't get me started with tree farms.
This carbon negative claim taken to the extreme would mean, that we should just cut down all trees and plant new ones. I think you can see why this is ridiculous?
