Based on this argument, it seems that we have a simple answer to all Global Warming hysteria. Plant trees to absorb CO2. If climate cools, cut down and burn them to release CO2.
There is absolutely no need for a gargantuan scheme to sequester CO2.
However, the warming and cooling of climate could be determined by other factors. I suspect Man-made CO2 makes little impact.
And who is supposed to care?
Giving Trees are the best for CO2 absorption.
"It adds biomass faster than any rain forest."
Because we know how chilly it is in the Brazilian rain forests, right? All those trees and plants absorbing all that CO2 and practically causing the indigenous peoples to get frostbite. It’s a shame, really.
Willows? And you can make great teas from their bark that relieves all sorts of bodily pains. Aspirin.
Didn’t read the article.
Is it live trees? The dead ones, they don’t do much.
We're better off growing saltwater algae to make petroleum.
Actually, trees are not the most efficient converters of CO2 to oxygen. Planet-wide, algae is. Look it up.
CO2 is only .0345 % of the air you breathe.
There is unrest in the forest....
I don’t know. I’m just an old lady who has lived in the same county for almost 64 years. There has been absolutely no change in the general climate here.
We’ve had years that were cold, or hot, or stormy - and years that evened it all out. (It amuses me when I hear of people who are astounded that a Christmas in our area gets up to 70 degrees sometimes, because I remember riding my Christmas Gift bike in 70-degree weather back in the 1960s. The ‘global-changists’ seem to think that these occasional anomalies are somehow New :-)
We go through cycles of different extremes of weather; I think it’s natural. I don’t believe that a mere 150 years or so of ‘industrialization’ could possibly impact climate on this resilient Earth as much as they are suggesting. I believe that it’s a politically-driven sham.
(When I was young and in school, they were warning of an imminent Ice Age!)
Redwood trees would be good. Let’s turn the entire left coast into a giant redwood forest.
The question “Which Trees Offset Global Warming Best?” is obviously one asked by a leftist idiot. The answer is there is no such thing as Global Warming. It’s NEVER been proven to exist. It’s a nightmare of leftist origins with absolutely no proof whatsoever of existence.
Ask a leftist, Democrat, opportunist (redundant) for proof, and all you will get is double talk. A piece of a jigsaw puzzle they claim exists, but they cannot ever produce the entire puzzle to prove their case.
Until the left can prove those pieces they show as proof actually are a part of an overall jigsaw puzzle picture, their claims are total BS.

From a scientific perspective the answer of course is christmas trees. You may have noticed that when many people put up christmas trees it gets cold; really, really cold.
Therefore, an effective way to fight global warming is to get a lot of people to put up christmas trees when it gets hot.
Anyone who denies the foregoing hates science and ignores the universal consensus of smart people everywhere.
Trees that fall on people.
