Here is a solution (or at least a start) to this climate change/carbon bla bla bla.Find a space, plant a tree?

Question

Any comments?

Oh, Al Gore and David Suzuki are both hypocrits by the way. Lead by example or just shut up.

Any comments on that?

Answer 1

Planting trees certainly helps but it's important to plant the right trees in the right place. Get it wrong and it can actually contribute to global warming.

Large, long lived, fast growing trees in the Tropics is the best route to go down but any tree planted in a hot climate zone will help.

Tree planting alone won't solve the problem, far too many trees would be needed for that (approx 90 for every person on the planet) but they do help to slow down global warming.

Besides, trees also provide cooling shade, natural habitat, add value and aesthetic appeal to a property so it's good to plant them regardless.

Answer 2

Planting trees is not a solution to global warming. If the soil and climate are such that they can survive without help from people (watering and fertilizing), then they will sprout from seeds put there by natural processes (birds, wind and so on) and grow wild anyway. If they cannot grow without watering and fertilizing, then the power used by the pumps in the water system that delivers the water to your tree, and the energy used by the fertilizer suppliers, will just put more CO2 into the air. And after the tree dies of old age and decays, it will releasing the CO2 it absorbed right back into the air.

Only reducing use of fossil fuels will make a difference.

Answer 3

i've got already have been given some fruit timber planted right here. Cherries and plumbs. The birds get all the cherries....bummer. The plumbs produce the different twelve months, and are very tastey. I almost cried while my new neighbor moved in around the corner, and ran out first subject with a chainsaw, and decrease down ninety% of their apple tree orchard the former vendors had planted. Being in any such rotten plant zone is the only subject that prevents me. i'm in plant zone 4, borderline 3. In different words, we've loooong, very coooold winters. there is largely a ton of stuff that isn't advance right here. i've got basically been right here 3 years, so i'm nevertheless gaining expertise of. with the aid of how, alongside with the perminant type plantings/gardens that fruit and nut timber are, human beings shouldn't overlook rubarb, artichockes, asparagas, many herbs, berry timber and vegetation, and a smattering of alternative perminant type backyard vegetation. ~Garnet Homesteading/Farming over twenty years

Answer 4

That won't make the population of the world happy. We can't possibly plant enough trees to offset our carbon emissions. They want us to decrease production by about a third indefinitely.

Answer 5

Funny how the only people who can lead by example are the ones who can afford it. Expensive fuel, cars and light bulbs will save the planet? Ok, whatever they say.

Answer 6

Well you probably mean comments as intelligent as your question ? sorry I can´t produce that without being ashamed of myself

Answer 7

Yeah.... SHUT UP !!!...Trees will fix it all right mister trend sitter?...WRONG!!!
