I hate to say it, but planting trees won’t help us remove carbon from the atmosphere. Every single last bit of carbon dioxide that the tree consumed will be put back into the atmosphere when the tree dies and decomposes. Artificial tree plantations are not forests. They have no animals, no birds, nothing. Trees don’t live long there.
Team Trees might be a good awareness project, but it has a layer of toxic positivity to it. It most definitely serves as an emotional band-aid at best, and deters people from working on real solutions at worst. Large things like climate are never that easy.

    Have any source for that artificial forests don't start attracting life?

    Could've sworn I heard some deer barking in the managed forest near my house the other day.

    Must've been doggers.

    That's why you cut them down and store the logs in old missile silos.

    Yea but if we buy ourselves 50-100 years planting trees it might be enough to get fusion power online.
    Of course we dont need fusion, fission and renewables can get the job done, but it might take fusion to be such an obvious choice for cost benefit analysis to be obvious enough.
