Report says cutting emissions should still be key priority as it cautions against mass monoculture tree-planting

For context, this would in theory allow about 1/3 historical cumulative emissions to be absorbed over a century or so. Which is a start, but nowhere near enough.

Also noteworthy: the bulk of forest-based carbon offsets have been fraudulent.

    So basically what you saying is that: to cancel the CO2 emissions generated from all the fossil fuel we dug from the ground, we need to bury tree that will turn into fossil fuel again.

    It seems logical for me.
