I didn't say that growing forest is the best sequesterer of carbon.. Archived Message

so to be really logical it would be best to fell old growth stable forest and burn it for power/charcoal to bury, and then replant to fix more carbon.. But I never dare suggest this as "old growth forest" is the sine qua non of the Greens, beyond criticism.
btw I planted about 250,000 mostly Sitka in the W of Scotland, but they are all now felled for paper.. What's more the ploughing of the peat bogs in which they were planted would have released a huge amount of extra carbon and some methane... !
