This article is frustrating for me. Especially his take on trees. The article states the target goal/amount of trees planted would only reduce carbon 6%. Ok, but, it will reduce temperature. I live in WV near a state forest. It is typically 7°-15° F cooler at my house than in town. Additionally, the sun in the summer doesn’t even hit my house until noon-ish, which significantly reduces my air conditioner consumption.

I chose to share this mostly for awareness. I am not especially fond of his perspective.

    There’s always a problem with grammar and pronouns. I am not, and likely you aren’t, working to extract carbon on a massive scale. Industries are. And these industries got elect officials in their pockets. And even if they’d crash, some Arab oil princes wouldn’t wanna lose all their assets.
