<tree planting are climatically worthless because emission reductions cannot be sufficiently verified.> How comes tree cutting is bad but tree planting is no good? <<“carbon plantations” critics like FERN, who have long maintained that tree plantations' ability to absorb any specifiable amount of carbon from the atmosphere is unverifiable and that tree planting to generate carbon credits is not a solution to averting dangerous climate change. Instead, it diverts attention away from creating efficient energy measures and economies based on renewable energy use.>> This is the smoking gun. The money is in cutting carbon not in solving the problem.
