Kodama claims that burying the trees will prevent them from allegedly “spewing” carbon back into the air.
I'm not a scientist but trees don't "spew" CO2.
Fits Gates de-population scheme - the fewer trees, the lower the atmospheric content, the fewer animals, like humans, exist. Logic not necessary.
They do once they die and rot.
The theory behind this project is to cut down living trees which have already converted CO2 into wood fibers, and bury the trees in such a way that the CO2 isn't re-released as the tree rots.
The second step, not outlined in this article, is to plant new trees to replace the ones cut down, thereby capturing even more CO2 from the atmosphere, and to repeat the process once these new trees mature and capture (the proper Greenie term is "sequester") more CO2 from the atmosphere.
It's stupid, it's unsustainable (how much CO2 will be generated in the process of cutting down the trees and hauling them to their permanent resting place?) BUT it does make sense on its surface to the Greenies.
“I’m not a scientist but trees don’t “spew” CO2.”
There is no photosynthesis when trees are dead and buried with no sunlight and no oxygen.
They do when they die and rot.
Unless they're buried underground ...
It's still a stupid idea based on a false premise: Climate change isn't driven by human activity.
Its the decomposition process. Think of it as a proactive CO2 pipeline. If you remember, the Klintoons wanted to ban wood burning because of the CO2 release but yet the exact amount is released if left to decompose.
