It will help.. but the argument about human induced CO2 warming is that we are taking carbon that has been fossilized and out of the life loop for eons and reintroducing it.
Trees are not fossils, and the carbon is still in the loop. eventual decay of the tree or a forest fire will give up a trees carbon and it will be back in a few decades... a coal seam kept the carbon hidden for millions of years.

There is no one solution. Planting trees will help but it's only part of the puzzle.
Plants do absorb CO2 and release O2. But we don't have a CO2 problem because we've cut down too many trees. We're cutting down trees AND burning fossil fuels.
Overall we just need to stop being so greedy. Take only what we absolutely need.

The plants have already removed most CO2. Measure the CO2 in the atmosphere,don't go to the net to get someones bad math.
