    Yep, that was my original point. Trees just can’t cut it. They have such a little impact they’re almost not worth even discussing. Far larger gains can be found elsewhere.

        Well, kind of… Reducing carbon emissions would be far more effective than trying to capture the emissions we currently use.

            I didn’t say you can’t do both. The real danger is the green washing. In fact, it’s not a danger, it’s currently already used to subvert carbon cap and trade regulations. Scams of companies that sell carbon credits for protecting forestry that aren’t endangered to begin with. There is little to no oversight of this and is hurting our progress to fixing the issue.
