--- Quote ---Replenishing the world’s forests on a grand scale would suck enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to cancel out a decade of human emissions, according to an ambitious new study.
Scientists have established there is room for an additional 1.2 trillion trees to grow in parks, woods and abandoned land across the planet.
If such a goal were accomplished, ecologist Dr Thomas Crowther said it would outstrip every other method for tackling climate change – from building wind turbines to vegetarian diets.

Bullcrap.
Try more logging so the forests don't burn and release all their greenhouse gasses into the sky.
Morons.

If it wasn't for the Gaia worshiping idiots we wouldn't lose so much forest to fires, the actual fact is that here in America there are more trees than there were a hundred years ago and both loggers and paper producers replant the areas they log because it's in their own best interest long term. I think it's important that we plant as many trees as possible, not to remove carbon from the air but because in the continuing cooling of the Earth people will need wood more than they have in decades just to keep warm!

That's right. I wish folks would go back to knowing what they don't know, and keep their noses out of other people's business. most of these dingbats are urban folks who've never set foot in a forest and don't know the first dang thing about it.

YEP, that's right :)

Nothing wrong with planting additional trees where there’s space.
