I see them everywhere around southern new york! Every now and again you'll see a giant tree probably a couple hundred years old, around the newer trees, the ones planted after they deforested for farmland.

wow

They are so beautiful when they're taken care of

We have the same thing in old england too! farm fences made with back breaking labour :D except not many are reforrested unfortunatly. we just have lots of empty fields.

You forgot about the part of Killing off the Indigenous Humans first.

So that’s what the carbon industry is spewing all over our faces

I came to the comments just to say that. Sneaky Joe

That’s honestly how most Texans pronounce “cement”.

Water vapour is a greenhouse gas so the benefits of this are probably negligible. Might be helping to block light but also traps more infrared so comes out pretty neutral

But that carbon capture is only fleetingly temporary. Eventually, the CO2 of that biomass gets returned to the atmosphere through microbial metabolism.

Soy beans are expensive! We need less meat and fish! To make 70% of the wild back to full diversity! It is at 40% right now! 😏

Good on you Samantha! Look up Gabe Brown, and also Joel Salatin. They are legendary regenerative farmers in North America. (I'm a regen farmer in Aus, so what I do is not really applicable...) Cheers!

Of course you never thought about it, nobody really cared until a decade or two ago!

Planting forest causes more problems that solving it, because oftentimes they either plant wrong alien species or plant only one species (monoculture) which do more harm to the ecology in the area. The correct way to solve it is just leaving nature to be restored by itself. Literally, just leave them alone. Everything we human touches, it's screwed up.

@@nokaton So you plant a mixture of indigenous trees.

​@@Aconitum_napellus Good in theory but not practical. By making some kind of artificial plantation, the plants need to be taken care of. You need an irrigation system, because you 'force' the plants to grow there. The aim is to restore the original ecosystem, not turning it into another kind of agriculture (monoculture or either mixed plant). The point is that the original ecosystem is more much much more diverse than what we can imitate. Letting the area to regrow plant by it self is better. The ecosystem can restore itself; plants can regrow without human intervention. I do not argue that, if it has been done enough correctly, it won't be good. But the strategy like mass planting would rather give worse outcomes, as more people involve, or either politics, it would lead to poor bureaucracy and poor management. (It already did happen in my country). You will end up in monoculture of alien plants. (don't underestimate bureaucracy).

NO! Forrests do not "move" any water from oceans onto inland areas. It´s another process. When it rains in extream dry areas, the rainwater will evapourate in just some days. Only a minimum of that rain will go into the ground, if any, and build up subsoil water. NOTE! In most dessert areas there are enough rain to keep up forrests. That´s where humans have to help nature get those areas re-forrested. You have to plant trees! There are some "rules" to follow in order to get a happy result! Among others: * Forrests build up it´s own water suply * Choose trees species who can resist ground fires as most as possible. Mostly because it´s rootsystems sticks right down under the tree, and not grows wide near it´s stem. * The army have to protect the growing forrest from grassing cattles, especially goats. * The trick is to let tree species grow which protect from sun burning the ground. * Another trick is to build a lot of ponds up in the hills, where you can see old creeks etc have once flowed. They will catch a lot of water when it rains and not let it flow down too quickly. Then a lot of water will build subsoil water. Also start plant the right kind of trees round every pond. * To re-forrest a dessertarea needs time. That is possible to reduce. Build a coalplant and supply a system of pipelines from the oceans into the dessert areas. Then desalt that water and fill a lot of ponds/inlandsea´s. Better with coalplant, which can produce a lot of CO2 to spread around the dessert areas. Trees grow a lot faster then. Every professional vegetable grower knows that. * It´s also possible to make a cold area "warmer" if you plant the right species of tree. For ex northern half of Siberia was a normal forrested area where it today is tajga during the ice-age. But it´s only possible if there lives the right kind of animals, like mamuths, wolly rhino´s and especially the american bison. In fact russia have started a large project in Siberia about 50 years ago, where imported bisons now are re-moddeling large areas into steps and forrested areas. Bisons eat "bad" species and leave the good species.

I could see turning our Pacific plastic mass into a floating platform for kelp forests. Fight two problems while increasing biodiversity by increasing biospheres in deep ocean areas that do not effectively produce sealife.

I appreciate that, thanks!

@Slevin Channel yes, I find it sad that connecting people into new communities based on beliefs and ideologies ironically makes society more polarised. To be rational is to fight against human nature and I think that critical thinking skills should be embedded in school curricula around the world.

The production of normal cement as it is used in concrete is inherently going to realease a significant amount of CO2, the best we can do is replacing the heat source with something carbon neutral.

This chap's had a look at the options as they stand at the moment: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9F1YJWf1c_Vdpc.html

And that they move water from the ocean inland through rain and evaporation

Don't forget things that are technically bushes and not trees. Some of them produce a very large food harvest.

Tree farms aren't forests and only capture 2% of the CO2 that a forest would.

@@DrJohnnyJ True, modern industrial monocrop tree farms are definitely NOT forests, and are pretty lame about sequestering carbon (some are actually net emitters by depleting soil carbon) but we can do much better than that. Modern experiments in agro/ecology/agroforestry and permaculture have shown that we can in fact steward systems that simultaneously feed us and sequester substantial amounts of carbon, while also rebuilding biodiversity and becoming more resilient to the already-changing climate. Edit: I will try to dig up some reference papers on this after work; I know I have them somewhere but finding them again is the challenge :P

A lit review I was able to dig up quickly: Nair, PK Ramachandran, et al. "Carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems." Advances in agronomy 108 (2010): 237-307. Will dig more if I have time later

This isn't a problem that any future generation won't have to deal with.

At one time, everyone was concerned about overpopulation, but due to birth control, governments are now worried about population decline (in reality, it is stabilizing). We can't hope for a single technology to come along and fix the climate for us, but hopefully we can find a way to at least pull back from the brink within our lifetimes.

Bamboo is a type of tree! And yes, bamboo is a carbon sequestering champion but is only appropriate in certain climates and certain micro-climates within the macro climates.

@@Myth8Anthropology Bamboo is anything but a tree species.

@@Myth8Anthropology it's grass

@@jakobklee2800 You are correct, I stand corrected. Bamboo is taxinomically in the same family as grasses. However, Caroljo is correct in saying that they grow faster than trees. Growth = biomass = carbon sequestration.

Excellent point. Like growing soya - to feed cows!

That's exactly what I was thinking when he mentioned BCCS. Sure, at first it'll be waste biomass, but knowing humans and our propensity for needing / wanting more energy, we're going to end up cutting down more trees / forests to burn. Not a good idea.

@Timothy Mckee Before the industrial revolution, CO2 was at 280ppm. During the last glacial period, CO2 was at 180ppm. Plants still grew. The only difference is the amount of breathing holes at the underside of the leaves. We are now at 417ppm. That means there will be fewer breathing holes under the leaves. Like sunlight, plants absorb only so much per day. It's a stupid idea to think CO2 will be beneficial in additional quantities. If you haven't noticed, the western US is on fire. How much CO2 are those burnt trees and houses going to absorb?

@Timothy Mckee Quite the contrary, if the temperature continues to rise, the majority of the planet's land area will turn into a desert.

@Timothy Mckee I have listened to Harper on numerous occasions. He's a denialist. If we continue in our direction, we will encounter another Permian extinction-type event. No matter what, the fossil fuel industry is coming to an end. Civil lawsuits will probably kill them off before anything else. Right now there are only about a dozen lawsuits. It won't be long and that number will go into the hundreds.

Not exactly. Should we perish and an alien science team arrive 100,000 years after our demise. Our activities in changing the earth's surface would still remain. Effects to the terrain from road building, mining and construction would be evidence of an intelligent species once dominating the planet as would leftover nuclear stockpiles and waste. A few of our probes sent into space or to other orbiting bodies would also show the emergence of a space-faring species long into the future. I like the idea of a massive glass pyramid or cone built on earth's south pole as a repository of everything humanity has ever encountered. As long as Antactica doesn't move around too much, the poles would seem a logical point to explore for an alien species. And should temperatures remain low enough, a lot of earth's dna could remain viable for study

It is already happening with Lithium batteries. New types use carbon.

Great idea!!! 💯

we can easily turned captured carbon into fuel for vehicles. Carbon neutral fuel!

@@silviafox78 Yes, microbes that use sunlight and CO2 to make oil are already a thing. We just now have to make the process more efficient. I would keep this sort of thing mostly for aircraft. The car I use on a daily basis can easily electric. Long haul trucking needs an energy source that brings a lot of energy for not too much weight.

@@kensmith5694 - Yeah, Fossil Fuels are still one of the easiest and highest energy-dense tools to use for transportation along with being extremely cheap and already having world-wide supply/demand... It's only going to be replaced in select ways and I believe only once it the price rises due to scarcity will we ever stop using it and switch to the eventually 'cheaper' options which may be better for the environment but that could still choke our lower income workers and families. That reminds me how the american president Biden cancelled the keystone pipeline. That pipeline would have helped save on emissions since the oil would otherwise be transported by train and truck. People say pipelines are bad for the environment but in reality they are overall better than our older ways of transporting the oil. That particular pipeline was targeted strongly even though america already had many thousands of giant pipelines already in operation.

Yes, he missed that and some others where it isn't trees.
