In this Our Changing Climate climate change video short, I look at why tree planting is not the silver bullet carbon sequestration method so many think it is. While trees have the potential to sequester lots of carbon from the air, the time it takes them to mature, the susceptibility to wildfires, and the fact they are often planted in monocultures mean that they are less effective than we would like to believe.
