Forestry And Climate Change? Yes
Cure Climate Change? Yeah, we can now that we understand exactly what it is.
Whoever said Trees Couldn't Do It Didn't Do The Math.
A typical 30-year-old tree in our global forests absorbs 163 Lbs of CO2 that year.
Which is okay. But it's going to be harvested between age 25 and 40. So, it's not okay at all.
Twenty years later, the tree absorbs 335 Lbs of CO2 that year.
No doubt sequestration is improving, but it's still not enough. If all 8.5 billion acres of logged forestry were 59 today, climate change would not exist, so there's that. That's 140.76 gigatonnes of CO2 sequestered that year, yeah, way more than humanity's 35 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions. It gets better...
Twenty-nine years later, that tree absorbs 492 Lbs of CO2 that year! Exciting Right?
Say what? Around 500 Lbs of CO2 is pulled from the atmosphere and stored in wood biomass as carbon for what can be millenniums. So whoever said it couldn't be done didn't do the math. Oh, and that's 418.2 gigatonnes of CO2 sequestered from the atmosphere that year by increasing tree maturity 29 years in the available global forest. But it gets way better.
Let's talk about Mature trees, 100 years old plus. 1000's of Lbs of CO2 sequestered per tree!
When it comes down to curing climate change permanently, we need to mature trees. We must stop impeding sequestration. We don't need all 8.5 billion acres globally, either. We need enough maturity and acres to balance natural and human emissions with sequestration. And that can be done, but not without you. It is time for you to help FMS mature trees and end climate change. If not you, then who?
