I think it would be a great idea but perhaps not that much help Archived Message

Previous Message Earth could naturally support 0.9 billion hectares of additional forest—an area the size of the United States—without impinging on existing urban or agricultural lands, the researchers report today in Science. Those added trees could sequester 205 gigatons of carbon in the coming decades, roughly five times the amount emitted globally in 2018. It would only sequester five years' of carbon emissions. So how much would it really help? Obviously something is better than nothing!
