Of course, planting more of the things that literally suck carbon out of the atmosphere and turn it into life-giving oxygen would be the obvious move to combat Climate Change™ (we’re operating on the premise that it’s real) — if the government were sincere about sequestering carbon for the sake of sequestering carbon because they harbor a deep and abiding love of nature.
But the technocrats aren’t interested in trees, as proven coming up.
One might speculate, if one were cynically inclined, their disinterest is due to the fact that more trees don’t equal more totalitarian control for themselves.
