Carbon removal is on track to be a $1T industry per year. There's that much excess carbon dioxide in the air. The scale that's needed is far beyond what trees can do. And trees have their own complications - carbon release (fires, virus, death), measurement, and attractiveness to chop down and use for other stuff. Trees haven't (yet) been optimized as carbon removal and storage devices. They just happen to be somewhat decent at it, but with some shortcomings. I wrote more about carbon removal in my weekly newsletter here: https://tito.co/posts/do-you-think-we-need-carbon-removal-for-a-stable-climate.html https://tito.co/posts/do-you-think-we-need-carbon-removal-fo...
