Hello folks-- I am looking for references for the assertion that trees cannot be enough to stave off catastrophic climate change, and also, for the assertion that for forests to make enough of a difference in future temperatures, we would have to stop growing in crops and turn all cultivated land into forests. I know I've seen reference to these ideas, but it would be very useful to have citations. Thanks in advance.
There was a mention of Sierra Club here yesterday; this month's Sierra magazine has an editorial by the President of the SC warning about the moral hazard of CDR as something promoted by Exxon, etc. (and a scam) to justify continued use of fossil fuels, and that all we need are natural trees to solve these issues. As a Life Member of the Sierra Club, I want to write a rebuttal to that (really uninformed) assertion. Would that it were true!
