All plants absorb the greenhouse gas CO2 when they grown emit O2. The only problem is that the CO2 will be released again, when the plants decompose or are burned.

well actually all plants absorb greenhouse gases since it is mainly carbon, nitrogen and oxygen butsince there are so many producers of these (vehicles, fires. power plants etc.) and the trees are cut for the expanditure of mankind there are not enough trees as there used to be or or even enough to absorb all the gases

You mean ALL plants, including weeds you fool.
You can become "carbon neutral" though. Roughly calculate the carbon emmissions you contribute to each year - ie fuel consumption, heating you home etc and make a donation to have trees planted that will cancel out your carbon usage - great idea, and a good present for the environmentally conscious person.

Strange question. All plants "absorb" greenhouse gases. They inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen (this is really simplified but functionally true).
Humans breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

the greenhouse gases that we are most worried about are either not absorbed or too high in the atmosphere to be absorbed AND THE MOST HEAT ABSORBING SUBSTANCE in the atmosphere is WATER VAPOR which is why the whole thing is out of our control !

If there is a very special plant that does this extra well, tell me about it and I will put it next to my GSD who seems to have a bad stomach at the moment.
