This probably is a liberal site.
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.

Giving Trees are the best for CO2 absorption.

My crusty old botany professor said "If you want to sequester CO
2, plant CORN!",
"It adds biomass faster than any rain forest."

If you are against them, you have to stop them some way. Otherwise, they will manage to ram their scheme and force us to pay for it. So we are all trying to find a way, and one way is to point out their folly by using their own logic.

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.

Who is supposed to care?! During the mini ice age, 1350-1750 the trees grew at a slower rate. The wood from those trees had rings which were closer together thus making for many of the best sounding violens ever made. This, we need a new ice age or maybe plant trees at higher latitudes for slower growth. The fiddles of the future need the cold.! Seriously series I say.

I’ve always thought zucchini as a rapid growing plant that could take in a lot of CO2.

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.

You'd get the same answer asking "Which trees make the best coal?"
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.

It is about which is the best tree to be planted.

CO2 is only .0345 % of the air you breathe.

If the South Americans, Africans and various Asians had not been destroying their jungles for firewood the last 60 years, this whole warming thing would be a the non-issue it deserves to be.

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.
