        Heals soil abused by industrial agriculture, and hemp seed is a superfood. Hemp adobe homes are super insulated and nontoxic. Save humanity.

        We cut down half the forests in the past century, our biggest c02 land sink. Yet we are told to stop emitting c02?

        Growth turns CO2 into biomass, death does the opposite. Biosequestration of carbon requires growth > death at global scale for long haul.

        Are you completely mad - we're entering global COOLING. Do some research for God's sake. Co2 feeds plants - carbon tax feeds scammers.

        1) Grow forest 2) Cut wood 2) Use wood 3) Bury old wood in mines and seal it off, to sink away the carbon 4) Regrow forest Would that work?

        If Climate change is caused by humans, the solution won't be found in humans. We need to stop breeding. How will any plan possibly
