Reading your comment makes this concept even stranger because you can sustainably farm trees to get the same carbon removal benefits and then also make money selling the lumber which will keep the carbon locked up just fine if you make sure to sell it for long term use applications like carpentry.
Trees alone won’t cut it. We’ve burned millions of years of plant growth in just 200 years. We need to plant trillions of trees just to hit the 2C target. Which is impossible since there isn’t enough land. Beside trees we need to restore wetlands and ocean habitats. And on top of that use human made tech since it is a human made problem.
