trees are not and can not be a very major form of carbon capturing My god. I may have to leave this website for good. Just cut down all the forests they said!

  You're twisting my words. Trees can't be the solution to our carbon problem, because they have no way to compete with humanity burning millions of years of carbon storage as fuel. That doesn't mean trees aren't extremely important in countless different ways. Which also doesn't mean that we shouldn't use wood as a material, if it's produced with principles.

    if it's produced with principles. Timber industries have shown for centuries they aren't concerned with carbon capture of forests and actively try to monoculture "regenerating" forests with herbicides which drastically reduces carbon capture. This documentary gives a good idea into my reasoning on why believing timber propaganda that "trees are better when cut down and regrowing" is false: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDgzOcsNm9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDgzOcsNm9g
