This is why I always laugh when people yell that we just need to plant more trees to solve climate change.

I've even debated on twitter with published scientists on this issue. It's odd how susceptible to naturophilia even very well educated people can be, to the point of denying what seems like an obvious conclusion.

I mean, even if the trees lock up carbon for 50 years, it would be a huge benefit.

There is no one solution to climate change.

Growing forests is one of many things that can be part of fixing this.

I was going to comment on how less people is the easiest unacceptable single solution to climate change but then I considered the possibility that even if half of the world population disappeared, there's a good chance people will end up using twice as much resources.
