Doing controlled burns will prevent the fires getting to this extent. Nonetheless, it's not a singular focus here, tree's uptake CO~2~ and you know one big factor to these outlandish fires? The increasingly hot temperatures as a result of CO~2~ levels.
Trees alone are not anywhere near enough to lower CO~2~ levels lol
Until emissions peak it is only going to get worse. Planting trees is a joke solution made up by unserious people who just want to appear like they're doing something and don't want to actually solve the problem.
Ahh, right... Perfection only, progress is ridiculous. Might as well just give the money to the US military then, which is far and away the biggest single contributor to the climate crisis.
lol do you think this is progressing anywhere? Really? Do you think this is going to lead to greater action on the part of the US government?
Don't be ridiculous. The US government is an enemy of the planet, this tree planting bullshit is meant to placate you.
You know, just wearing a seatbelt is not enough to keep you from being killed in a car wreck, so might as well not wear it, eh?
This is more like looping the seatbelt over your shoulder to fool cops into thinking you're clicked in ๐
