You have a lot of really good points here that I wish more people would think on

A little bit you talk about when the trees start to die and re release the carbon as if there aren't new trees taking their place.

I understand that more carbon has been extracted than there was in circulation before. But in the same way that you hate rich people trying to get richer by selling offsets and planting trees it's the same as this inventor and their shitty bricks. In my opinion it's even less viable than environment restorations even though as we both agree they won't all the way solve the problem. I do agree that no one's come up with a real solution and we definitely need some kind of long term mega scale storage
