You've basically saying mass deforestation isn't a big deal.

Please, try to read with comprehension.

Deforestation is definitely a big deal. We need to preserve nature's diversity and forests are extremely important part of that.

What I meant is to warn people against thinking that if we start planting trees en masse then we have somehow on the right track to solve the problem. We are not.
