"the fact is that there aren’t enough trees to offset society’s carbon emissions – and there never will be. I recently conducted a review (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/ffgc.2020.00058/full) of the available scientific literature to assess how much carbon forests could feasibly absorb. If we absolutely maximised the amount of vegetation all land on Earth could hold, we’d sequester enough carbon to offset about ten years of greenhouse gas emissions at current rates" https://theconversation.com/there-arent-enough-trees-in-the-world-to-offset-societys-carbon-emissions-and-there-never-will-be-158181
