Room for saplings is not the same as room for average sized trees. And it's only for a single year, we'd need to do this in perpetuity. It would probably use land that's currently in use for agriculture, in a time when huge areas of old growth rain forest are cleared to make more space for agriculture. One country deciding to turn pasture into forest would probably cause more forest to be lost in Brazil, of a type that stores _way_ more CO2 per hectare. I think we should start with getting better at preventing and fighting huge forest fires, and to stop considering wood pellet burning as "renewable energy". Any further focus on planting trees only distracts from real solutions, imo.
