Look at the size of the machinery we use to dig up fossil fuels. You need an even greater amount of machinery to bury trees and bamboo to undo the damage. Who's going to pay for that?

Exactly this. The infrastructure to put carbon back in the ground would need to be approximately much larger than the entire infrastructure to extract it.

I swear in about a 100 years from now people are gonna want to exhume the graves and defile and mutilate and urinate upon the corpses of everyone who said "Who's going to pay for that?"
