Why don't they simply plant themselves - permanently - and spare us and the rest of the world their asinine pomposity - that alone would cut more so-called "carbon emissions" than planting however many trees. Speaking of which, have they gone and calculated how much carbon is emitted by the whole process of raising the seedlings, shipping them out to wherever they're to be planted, then bringing in the work crews and doing the actual planting? I would imagine that it you totted it all up, this pointless little activity of theirs would actually be a net increase in carbon emissions, not a net decrease.

It gets better.

A seedling tree will consume very little CO2.

It will take decades for the tree to mature and decades for it to consume minute amounts of CO2.

It`s all a weird freakish Gaia earth worshiping cult.
