    It will work. You just ignored the second part, “and not burn stuff”. We need to stop producing, and reforest everything that can be.

      That!
      Plant trees and other plants that capture carbon and can be turned into charcoal.
      Bury the charcoal and remove the carbon from the cycle for a long time.
      Rinse and repeat.

      It will not work because it doesn’t matter if you burn it or not. If you don’t burn it, the CO2 will be released regardless because the wood will decompost in 10-50 years.

        No babes, you don’t burn the oil. Yes, dead trees decompose, but that turns into new trees. Increasing the forest lowers the carbon in the atmosphere, full stop.

          Which gets us back to my argument that you have to increase the used landmass for forests by 1% per year yeah which means after 50 years the earth is full of forests, which is unsustainable. You are nearly there
