I found the arguments in the article rather weak. One was that trees die. True enough. But if you plant 100 trees and 10 die within ten years, that's still quite a bit of CO2 converted into O2. It may not scale so well, sure. But as far as I can tell, neither do wind & solar. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make the best use of them.
- soperj 4y agoNearly all the trees we plant are planted to cut down eventually.
- quixoticelixer- 4y agoEven so you still have 30-100 years of carbon sequestration.
