“Who gives up land for the world’s climate fixes?”

I have some ideas

Who gives up land for the world’s climate fixes?

Planting trees has become one of the most widely promoted responses to climate change. As forests grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while offering habitat for animals, plants and other organisms. The idea is straightforward: Expand forests, and the planet gains both climate mitigation and renewed biodiversity.

Yet the land required to remove large quantities of carbon from the atmosphere may place these goals in tension. Efforts to plant forests or cultivate bioenergy crops with carbon capture need vast areas. In some places, those projects could displace ecosystems that already support rich biodiversity. A recent analysis suggests that roughly 13% of globally important biodiversity areas overlap with land that climate models designate for carbon-removal projects, reports John Cannon.

The research, published in Nature Climate Change, examined five widely used models that outline pathways to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius (2.7° Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. Ruben Prütz of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues mapped where these models anticipate land-intensive carbon dioxide removal, such as new forests or bioenergy plantations. They then compared those locations with important wildlife habitats.

How about we build a bunch of nuclear power plants to replace coal and petroleum, even natural gas?

The study also highlights an uneven geography. Many of the lands identified for carbon removal lie in the Global South. That distribution raises questions about fairness, since wealthy countries have produced most of the emissions now warming the planet.

I think we should take the land from so many Warmists and turn them into forests. How about all those rich folks and politicians who attended the Brazil climate (scam) conference? They can move into townhomes or something. We can take large government owned pieces of property and turn them into forests. Demolish the buildings, and the workers that are necessary can work in tiny buildings elsewhere. How about Obama’s seaside properties? Al Gore’s? Sheldon Whitehouse’s? Biden’s Rehoboth Beach home property is not that big. Let’s take the entire town.

Any good ideas for property we can turn into forests? And, did you notice that the doomsday cult is happy to simply take Other People’s property?
