I mean, that's the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.
You mean sequestered, not removed. It's one fire away from being back in circulation.
Do you propose some alchemy that transforms carbon to another element? Remove carbon from the atmosphere and stop putting more up in there.
And gives some energy (and building material) in the process? Yeah, it's just kinda hard.
