It's useful to realise that humanities yearly CO2 production is greater (by weight) anything else we make. by far.

So yes, if we don't stop producing industrial quantities of CO2, we'd need to plant about 1 USA sized forest/year to compensate (and keep it away from fire etc). Obviously Complete Nonsense.

Also a strawman argument. We need to stop producing industrial quantities of CO2. Then reforestation can help (a bit, perhaps).

Also, the forest would need to live forever, because when a tree dies and decompose, it releases CO2 back.
