Good thing I've been focusing on bushes, then /s
This really feels like a prime ¿Por que no los dos? moment. Like [@Track_Shovel](@track_shovel@slrpnk.net said, we need to be focusing on turning off the spigot of excess carbon entering the atmosphere, but we should be putting effort into buffering the system as well. Doing one isn't reason to ignore the other.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at - do both, obviously. I was typing this on a phone before bed, so I missed that part.
I was digging what you were filling
As soon as I saw the headline I was like "$5 says this guy didn't say stop planting trees, he said that planting trees isn't enough. because it isn't."
Agreed, but I saw a chance for a cheap joke so I dropped the comment first. At this point a lot of folks in this field are advocating for drawdown by reduction and buffering/sequestration by restoring varied ecosystems.
