I think this is a very misleading argument. Old growth forests sequester a lot of carbon, which would take new growth literally centuries to match. We don't have centuries.

We can and should be smarter about forest management but the industry has learned to speak with a forked tongue and to subborn efforts that would interfere with their short-term mindset that prioritizes maximizing extraction rates. https://news.mongabay.com/2019/05/tall-and-old-or-dense-and-young-which-kind-of-forest-is-better-for-the-climate/ https://news.mongabay.com/2019/05/tall-and-old-or-dense-and-...
