Concern that it will create a greater amount of emissions from moral hazard effects than it will remove from the atmosphere.

Surely, if we get the technology going, we can increase the rate of storage faster than we increase the rate of emission. No?

Depends on the technology. Planting trees is not all that scalable.

Why do you say that? I've heard experienced planters can plan a million a year.

Yes, but it’s slow and requires a fixed area to capture x amount of carbon. Also, somewhat ironically, it would probably have a bigger environmental impact than an industrial solution.

What's the environmental impact?

Perhaps ecological is the right word? Dunno. Anyways, how many animals are adapted to a life on open plains of some sort, and how will they fare when it gets covered in trees? I’m guessing quite a few species would go extinct. I would still support it though.

Yeah, there will be ecological impact. Can't weigh the true pros and cons without more details.
