Again, the real deal breaker is needing 1.6 earths worth of land. No one is saying planting trees is a bad thing, but there is no escaping the need for other methods of carbon capture. Trees tend to stop growing after about 150 years, so trees left standing longer than that will delay releasing the CO2 they've already captured, but will not continue to capture carbon. Indeed you probably want to cull trees before their growth rates start to decline around the 100 year mark to maximize your carbon capture rate. |
