You get a net absorption of CO2 when you have GROWING forests.
We should be logging the forests, turning the hardwood into nice furniture and flooring, and then planting new trees in their place.
Too much CO2?
CO2 becomes O2 through the chemical reactions that constitute photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires sunlight.
Therefore, forests have more CO2 in their atmosphere at sunrise than they do at sunset.
Why don’t any “scientists” at NG know that?
