      Tree drops seeds on its own.

          Old growth forests naturally sequester carbon despite bushfires. New growth takes a long time to get there without additional steps but the later you start the longer it’s going to take.

              Nope thats not how it works its a circle of Carbon unless we humans add it by burning literal carbon we have from the ground (coal) we need to put it back.

              What is coal? It’s literally dead plant matter that didn’t decay in anaerobic environments and that’s what swamps are.

              While I agree that artificial carbon capture should be researched, as others already said: it has little practical use until all electricity production comes from renewable sources.

                  for example a system using some sort of Alge

                  Wait, you’re making a big fuss over the type of natural photosynthesis we should use? Seriously?

                  People commenting against the carbon capture as featured in the article argue about using natural ways instead and “tree” is just a shorthand for some, just as I used the broad term “plants”.

                  Now don’t come and start splitting hairs like “But actually, algae are different from plants because the cells that comprise algae are not able to differentiate into different plant parts like stems, roots, and leaves, so I’m arguing for something completely different.”

          Of course there’s enough space to capture CO2 from decomposed trees. It’s called soil.

          Are you afraid of a Himalaya of soil or what?
