For most countries around the world, sourcing energy entirely from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower by 2050 would reduce their energy needs and costs, improve air quality, and help slow climate change, according to a study in Environmental Science & Technology.
And it just doesn’t fucking work.
Please tell me how plants aren’t carbon sinks
They grow, build themselves out of carbon from the air. Live for a while (300 years for my local trees). Die, rot, release the carbon into the air; or they burn and release the carbon into the air
At best you replace forests we have destroyed and pull the same amount of CO2 out of the air as destroying those forests put in a hundred or more years ago. The main cause of carbon in the air is burning fossil fuels, so it won’t help much.
If you’re growing trees somewhere they could grow without special help (extra water, fertilizer) you’re definitely growing trees humans removed in the past
You can do it by cutting down the forests you’ve grown, and regrow them over and over again and storing or processing the wood so it never rots
