Have you looked into how ineffective planting trees will be when it comes to carbon capture? I don’t remember the exact numbers but some insane number of trees planted and grown would barely make a dent in the average temps. I learned this recently so I just thought I’d mention it.

Not to say planting trees isn’t good in other ways, but we’ll definitely have to come up with more creative ideas for carbon capture and storage if we want to help climate change. Plus we just need to stop it at the source and keep advancing solar and battery tech.
