Right-o. That requires, first, for you to plant a tree first, to remove carbon from the atmosphere and put it into a short term storage. Now, IANAE, but from what I know the threat of global warming is that it comes with a cascade effect, that as it becomes more of a problem, the natural systems in place start giving way, making it become more of a problem faster (For example, as glaciers and ice fields melt, they release carbon and other gasses that had been locked in the ice, causing more warming). Doing something, anything to put that on hold sounds like a good idea to me. Planting trees may not be the end-all solution to global warming, but it is the best Phase-1 of a long term reduction of carbon in the atmosphere that we have right now. You agree there isn't a current way to go from carbon in atmosphere-> carbon in long term storage (except for the "fake tree" thing, which simply shoves it into depleted oil deposits, which I think is a terrible idea).
