Forests are helpful but not sufficient. The world was once covered in forests and all the oil/coal etc was in the ground.

Now we have reduced forest cover and burned underground carbon. Reforestation only solves the former.

We can harvest forests without reducing canopy coverage and store the wood. You can even grow your forests on top of wood landfills.
