    There’s no amount of trees you can plant to actually put that genie back in the bottle in a reasonable timeframe. Consider how much highly concentrated plant matter we’ve dug up and then imagine how much we’d have to bury. We could spend centuries doing nothing but planting trees and cutting them down and burying them and still wouldn’t make up that deficit.
