It makes no difference. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere has not changed. If anything, this might mean that trees are less effective at reducing carbon than we thought, because there are more trees than we thought there were.

I think you're right, I read a few months back that grass is actually much more efficient in terms of reducing carbon. I'll have to look that up.
