Re: CO2 sequestration



Build houses, make furniture, etc. This will sequester some of the carbon
longer than the natural full life of the tree. Again, we need only
sequester the carbon until we can stop adding so much into the atmosphere.
Once the fossil fuels are gone or their use severely limited, then we should
be able to let nature take its course. Right now, forest fires could be
troublesome, but in the long range, they are natural. If WE can stop
setting them, then the fact that we can put out many naturally set fires
should compensate.

Plant LOTS of trees?

Rick

When they mature, then what?

Burn them for heat?

Let them rot?

What if there is a forest fire?
