We can chop down the trees and landfill them to prevent the carbon from being released back into the atmosphere. Of course, with that we are talking about re-doing millions of years of prehistorical carbon capture by the earth.

And how much carbon does the forestry and digging equipment to do all that generate? That's one of the problems. Yes, growing trees and 'discarding' the wood is a way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, but we have to do it in an efficient way, and we're not there yet.
Why not turn them into houses before putting them in a landfill?
