1 tree per acre per year. Is that runaway growth? Since trees utilize CO2, maybe we should plant a few more trees, instead of cap and tax, we could have plant and mulch.LOL

That one tree is the increase for one year. I saw one report on this subject in which it was said that this represents a two to four hundred percent increase in growth rate for forests in the Eastern United States. If that is true then it actually does sound like runaway growth.
