Actually, that would be a great idea, and would make a significant difference.
But there is little point in planting a ton of trees if we don't manage them.
I'm all for it, but there needs to be a proper plan in place, and WORLDWIDE support. Again, little point in doing something in North America (which already has more trees than it ever had in the history of ever) if the rest of the world doesn't give a damn.
Also, trees? How can you increase taxation by planting more trees?
It actually drives me insane how easily people accept the stupid carbon tax. The equivalent of people buying carbon credits. What does it accomplish? Nothing. Companies have been finding ways around tax laws for years, and they almost certainly will with the carbon tax.
