Fighting climate change is seriously as simple as planting more trees? Okay, here’s a little math problem for you.
In 2018 alone, humanity emitted 37 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbressa...63f0b1c6e5
A gigaton is 2 trillion pounds.
A tree captures, on average, 48 pounds of CO2 per year. https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2015/03/...we-breathe
1) How many trees would it take to offset the carbon emissions of humanity for the year of 2018 alone?
2) Do you see why this isn’t a realistic solution, given the answer to A?
