It does matter when it comes to CO2 fixation though... if you only get 0.1% efficiency in fixing CO2 with biofuel production, but would get 1% with normal forestation, then there is a quantifiable difference.

This includes everything from corn ethanol to algae. He claims leaving trees in place and just burning regular oil instead is better for the CO2 fixation, both in the short and long term.
