Methane is a very potent green house gas-what about banning vegetables that promote flatulence?

Corporations aren't putting out the CO2 YOU burn. YOU are. And planting trees and putting panels doesn't cancel out what you burn. You should stop ... if you believe what you say you do.

I think the trees I've planted will keep nullifying some of my CO2, until they die and rot.

Thereby re-releasing all that carbon they've locked up during their lifespan.

This is why the Rain Forest can be considered, at best, carbon neutral.

Phytoplankton, on the other hand, tend to find their way to the bottom of the oceans. Which is whey they are a far better "biological pump" for sequestration of carbon.
