Another reason CLT is the future and is the best chance of fighting this trend. Not only planting more trees, but moving towards more timber based construction to keep the carbon removed from the atmosphere.

The most effective way to fight global warming is to plant lots of trees, a trillion of them, maybe more, according to a new study.
Swiss scientists also say that even with existing cities and farmland, there's enough space for new trees to cover nine million square kilometres, roughly the size of the United States.
Their report is in Thursday's edition of the journal Science.
The study calculated that over the decades, those new trees could suck up nearly 750 billion tonnes of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — about as much carbon pollution as humans have spewed in the past 25 years.
