I'm totally on board with planting trees, but as a climate solution, the accounting doesn't make sense. We're burning a hundred million barrels of oil a day or so. If you tried to compensate with forests, you'll quickly start to wonder where you're going to fit them all, and where the water is coming from.

It's almost always going to be vastly easier to reduce emissions than to try to re-absorb it.
