95% correct. "Planting a lot of trees" has been proven dead wrong because of simple math, plant matter decay, and increasing fucking forest fires. Instead, #teamtrees couldn't face reality while doing the disservice of misinforming and lying to millions of people for egotistical and aspirational post-factual rhetoric. https://youtu.be/gqht2bIQXIY

> "Planting a lot of trees" has been proven dead wrong because of simple math

Planting a lot of trees and let the trees grow still looks a much better plan that most of the other options and magical solutions. We just need to find the courage to try it seriously.

Forest fires are a crime in 90% of the times. The idea that we can't do what we need to do because criminals exist is not acceptable. We just need to make this crime much more expensive, painful and unprofitable for that people

Forest fires are a natural state of forest and required for a healthy forest for many types of forest.

Trees literally won’t and can’t solve the problem. They’re a temporary buffer at best. That’s the problem.
