ignore the technocratic redditor grifting of tree planting, which has (as in all other cases of "carbon capture and storage" grift) not been shown to store carbon at the scale we need it, and ironically can release deep soil carbon stored after thousands of years of slow accumulation.

(also please post more about this extremely vital topic on /c/Science because those dorks banned me to protect the mental health of their nazi bureaucrat friends who are really depressed by their Malthusian jobs...ironic that their class smugly say "the Dark Age isn't real". I've literally never heard anyone else talking about this obscure research, and these orthodox redditors chose to excommunicate someone with an actual radical critique of their hegemonic neoliberalism. The neo-dork age is getting dorkier each day!)

    i'm an ecologist with a strong background in soil carbon dynamics. i'm also a published scientific author with peer reviewed literature in carbon footprint analysis. planting trees is pretty much always cool and good, except in weird edge cases that reveal little but flawed experimental design and short term anomalies.

    one doesn't need to go to the Le Playhead Academy for Good Boys with Science Brains to understand why this is. rather, look at deforestation as a function of human activity and then think, "we should probably reforest at least some of this space that we rapidly deforested to do a bunch of capitalism."

        i guaran-fucking-tee they aren't banned for posting 'unpopular' science.

        this poster gets the greatest leeway on this site and they cannot help forcing mods to ban them for rulebreaking posting

    Didn't know China planting trees to prevent desertification was "technocratic redditor grifting", you learn something new everyday huh?

    Question: why is it only trees? Permaculture in a given ecosystem involves a really diverse set of species

    Indeed "All you need is plant tree" is a PMC mind virus but there are better ways to make that argument. Say something about monoculture or economic incentives
