Why not just plant more plants to reduce co2? Why not just increase ocean vegetation to reduce global warming? Somebody help me understand plz

The carbon store is too small. Biochar is a similar concept that works better than just growing trees.
that requires people organize and do something
Why does this take organization? Just go plant some plants
I've noticed the plants around my property are growing like mad even more compared to 5 or 10 years ago. Those guys are having a field day no pun intended with more food in the atmosphere for them. I can't image how quickly bamboo grows now too. Also nice job saving an image thumbnail.
It's much more efficient to not make a mess in the first place instead of making a mess and cleaning it up.
unfortunately one can not act on the advice to "not make a mess in the first place" without a time machine
>He said, while making the mess bigger
How am I making the mess bigger in a way you are not?
Do you want a real answer, or if I tell you are you going to claim that I'm virtue signaling?
Republicuck here but tell me.
You /misc/tards sit bolt upright for every dog whistle, don't you? I grow a portion of my own food, I use a fraction of the national average electricity consumption, I don't drive often, I compost the majority of my waste, and I've personally sequestered hundreds of pounds of carbon.
>I use a fraction of the national average electricity consumption, I don't drive often
me too. I don't grow food though, living in the hustle and bustle of the big city. On the other hand, I don't drive at ALL. Sounds like we're making the mess bigger at approximately the same rate
Oh? How much carbon have you sequestered, champ?
>Hurr durr I don't know how to do any of these things so you can't either
You two seem butthurt. Maybe you shouldn't ask questions you don't want the answer to.
>Oh? How much carbon have you sequestered, champ?
What do you mean by that? Are you talking about planting plants like OP is suggesting?
No, not plants, carbon sequestration. How much carbon have you sequestered?
I'm not your daddy, and you're not paying me enough to teach you how to grow your own food.
>How do you compost waste fast enough? Do you not produce any at all?
Are you a literal child?
>No, not plants, carbon sequestration. How much carbon have you sequestered?
800 pounds
In what form? I store it as biochar which is stable for hundreds, if not thousands of years
You're moronic. I have done this shit before with 1/4th an acre for land. It doesn't grow fricking fast enough. It doesn't matter what crops you have, how much you let your chickens free roam. Nothing will grow fast enough before you need to eat. You're LARPing like an idiot here. The only way to grow sufficient amounts of food is to plant them a long period ahead of them. I know nothing about composting waste, yes, all I was doing was burning them since it was the easiest way.
Have you ever heard of succession planting or ways to extend your growing or harvest season? You are far too ignorant to speak on this topic.
>You two seem butthurt. Maybe you shouldn't ask questions you don't want the answer to.
Tell me then. There are hardly any crops that you can grow on a need to need basis. I highly doubt you grow even a portion of your own food unless you do it close to an industrial level.
How do you compost waste fast enough? Do you not produce any at all? Doubt on that one because that links back to not being able to grow food on a need to need basis. Cans stack up like crazy. You haven't even told me if you do this in a rural area or not.
>I grow a portion of my own food
I've done this lol. You end up growing so little, like legitimately so little that you just end up going to the grocery store.
Bananas alone take years to grow.
>I use a fraction of the national average electricity consumption
Done this too. Obviously different now but just an electric fan and an outdoor lightbulb. Gas cooking though.
> I don't drive often
I don't even drive. Walk to the suburbs then take the bus. When I was living like that, though.
> I compost the majority of my waste
Doubt. Human waste is immense. You definitely burn it. If not, how do you do it?
>I've personally sequestered hundreds of pounds of carbon.
No way for me to measure my own output.
well now you've put it into my head that you're going to be virtue signalling, but I am curious
>Civilization is a mess
How are you posted from the middle of the wilderness?
Plants are carbon neutral. They eventually release all the CO2 they absorbed.
the mass of carbon we put in the atmosphere exceeds hte mass of all plants and animals on the planet. We would need a second earth full of life to go back to safe levels and we would still need centuries. Also we would need to stop buring coal and oil NOW.
But it's worse, we put world on fire, We lost our last chance to outgrow global heating catastrophe.
did you know that temperature increase is logarithmic in terms of c02? i.e. every doubling of atmospheric c02 increases temperature linearly
