It is something that have to be done anyway, as the other benefits matter too. But how it is done could be the difference between a solution and a far worse problem.
Global warming is already pushing toward more frequent forest fires, or droughts in vast regions that if they have trees will end burning up as well.
Intensive tree planting in relatively small areas probably is a bad idea, or will have a big maintenance cost to try to avoid that risk.
But, in any case, it is the low hanging fruit of carbon capture. I just hope that it is done in the right way.
