It cannot. Although reforestation is still a great idea and can result in significant GHG reductions if managed properly.

Yes it can. The number of trees that could be planted are enough to capture airborne excess CO2. I'm glad there's technology via pipeline but it needs to mature more. We need better solutions than really long and disruptive pipelines, and planting a lot of trees buys us a lot of runway.

You’ve said this twice now, but do you have a source?

What number of which trees is the bough to capture excess co2 from ground and surface sources?

Where could we put all this trees?

Planting trees can certainly do a lot, but it is insufficient. If you went all in on "nature based" solutions, it gets you to around 15-20% of needed reductions. This would require a global reshaping of land use policy.

Anyone who says that they have one thing that will solve climate change is either uninformed or lying.
