Serious question: how do trees, which exchange CO2 for O2, help climate change? More specifically, isn't the problem that too much CO2 is way up there? How do trees down here help that?
- mseebach 17y agoIt's down here before it's up there. The idea is to stop it before it goes up (by "cathing it" quickly, or by not emitting it at all), because once it's there, there's not much to do about it.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoThat's the only thing I could think of too, but then thought... if smokestacks (et. al.) are dumping it up there quite above tree heights, that's just gone, right? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I really don't know how this stuff works.
- tome 17y agoI imagine the CO2 way up there diffuses down here.
