Global Warming: Cutting of Rain Forests vs. Planting New Shrubs?

Question

Since "Global Warming" has become a topic of the day, and continual reference has been made to problems created by
reductions in the size of the rain forests, etc., by many observers, is it impractical to suggest immediate planting of trees in every available (suitable soil/rainfall/temp) place? I have in mind unused space on flat warehouse roofs, industrial building flat roofs, government building flat roofs. Questionable areas and locations might be enhanced with automatic drip feed watering systems. Costs would be minimal to try and improve this situation if low growing shrubs and bushes were utilized. What I think is needed is real research into what particular bushes and shrubs consume the most carbon dioxide of the many varieties that are available. It is fairly obvious that we cannot begin growing redwoods, etc., on roof tops. So what shrubs and bushes might be best? This is something that the public could initiate and propagate as a partial solution to the problem.

Answer 1

Definitely something that could be implemented. I've already planted a few trees in the last year, but a wide-scale initiative would obviously be better. Of course, new trees are not going to make up for the loss of the rainforest, but everything helps.
So what are you going to do about it? Start in your community, write to your government, get started....

that's an fairly nobel deed certainly to help shop the rain wooded area however the rain forests are being cleared at an alarming fee to plant vegetation for renewable fuels for autos to sell environmentalism. in an attempt to maintain the planet the environmentalists are destroying a great area of our atmosphere. i'm useful there are legal and user-friendly people available that have funds set as much as help provide up the great clearing of the rain forests yet, i do no longer in my view comprehend of any so i may be very leary of sending any of my complicated earned funds out of the country to fund somebody's lavish existence-type. so some distance as international warming, it rather is not man made and for us to even have faith we've the potential to alter the climate and climate, is previous comprehension. GOD remains on top of issues.

Hi there and what u know about the rain forest of the world. They are doing fine and why should we tell the natives they cant clear land to grow food just like we have here.
Another thing it is not just trees ,all plants reduce CO2 by the process of photosynthesis ,
