Trees and Global Warming (Part 1)

Note: I take global warming seriously. Some chapters may show disregard to my ideas on that issue. I do not think we should ignore it.

"Plant one trillion trees and global warming will be solved in just decades." "Plant seven million acres of trees and global warming will be solved in decades."

So, why trees? Why not grass? Or vines?

There is a good reason. Trees create a large and tall column. A tree trunk. Simplistically, a tree trunk is made out of ground nutrients, groundwater, and carbon dioxide in the air.

The solution is not the trees just because they are trees. The solution is that carbon dioxide is being removed from the air to create something that holds those atoms.

But trees burn. If the tree burns, it releases much of the carbon dioxide back into the air.

That same unwanted consequence could happen if the tree is eaten and digested.

In order for trees to be the solution, lumber, timber and wood must be created and preserved.

Grass and vines are really too light. Without water in them and chopped small, those plants can blow like fluff.

So if preserving the tree trunks is the way to solve global warming.

I have a suggestion.
