It would involve potentially sensitive decisions about where to turn fields into forests: for example, should trees be planted where crops are grown or where cattle or sheep are grazed?
There are machines that can do the job - and even drones - but people power is the tried and tested method. And good money can be earned - about 7p for every tree. She doubts whether there are enough trained staff in Britain to support the government's plans for a huge increase in planting.What problems could there be?In their early years, saplings are extremely vulnerable to a long list of threats: droughts, storms, pests and diseases. So it's possible that around a quarter of a newly-planted forest will die young.
"We don't want to be rushed by others who have taken a sudden interest and may run away in 5-10 years' time," he says. Prof Rob MacKenzie, of the University of Birmingham, is honest about the lack of knowledge."There are lots of things we don't know about the precise movement of carbon."Instruments are mounted on tree trunks and on the ground to measure every aspect of how the trees are functioning. Research so far has shown that every square metre draws in about 1,700g of CO2 every year - while also releasing up to 1,200g.
Iris is Albany.
Not really. But less people would.
Away with your fake climate news.
Nope
Who gives a fuck right now
Trees are a part of the solution to stabilising the climate but they also do much more. We do not appreciate just what benefits they bring to our whole ecosystem. whether you believe in climate change or not forests are incredible for your wellbeing.
I love trees🌳🌳🌳but I also love these ✈️✈️✈️ what a dilemma..
Only coconut trees.!
Yes! Then we can all go and live under one 🤔
No. Just think of all those extra Leaf Blowers folk are going to need.
Just collect an acorn or conker this year and pop it into a bit of spare ground, it cost nothing but will leave a legacy for years.
UK Govt plans a huge roadbuilding programme and more building on green spaces, so many thousands of trees will be cut down too. Tree-planting plans are welcome but must be more than an offset exercise.
The More oxygen emission, the more cooler the atmosphere probably🤔
The planet doesn't need saving.
Won't be able to see the wood ,for the trees
'Will planting millions of trees really save the planet?' No Next and FFS stop promoting the SorosChild and get back to serious reporting How about a few years where every day on every single news report you promote the merits of nuclear as a REAL solution to CO2 emissions?
All those awful climate aggressors who wishes for a reduction in population are getting what they want shortly.
No!! Because climate change is a natural event that’s happens all the time
Well stop wood materials for your houses for awhile and use concrete cement and steel if that’s the case Amen
Nope.....
Question should be! Should it be.
...no but it's a start...and will save us....once they have grown and once...we have stopped flying everywhere needlessly...stopped driving so much...stopped buying two pound t shirts...stopped building cheap shit houses...stopped drilling for oil...stopped drilling for gas...
The planet does not need saving. It is in no danger. The climate changes naturally. There is no climate crisis. Please stop your doomsday, fear-porn, cult-like BS. You are FakeNews and propagating lies & misinformation.
🤔 Depends how quickly they can be turned into bog rolls.
It’s part of the solution! Stop cutting them down is another part, dramatically reducing emissions is another part. No magic bullet I’m afraid! And whilst we are on stop tipping our shit into the sea!!!
If the human race could only get over itself and realised the planet isnt dying, its the conditions for human life that are dying .
It won’t hurt.
I believe trees 🌳 🌲, and many plants in general, would prefer CO 2 levels of 0.1 % as opposed to current 0.03. They will fix atmospheric carbon to a point but their role could be as much for beauty and biodiversity (if the right species are planted)
Maybe if the loggers stop chopping down the rain forest...
No, because climate change is a perfectly natural phenomenon which has been going on since time began. It's now become a scam.
CO2 is great for trees
Yes
Probably not.....but they look so nice, (and sound so nice when the wind is blowing)
Will they stop the migrant invasion is the real question.
It doesn’t need saving
How much reduction in CO2 emissions has there been due to this coronavirus? The eco-nutters will not be satisfied until we enter a new ice-age.
No, morons
It’s worth a try. It will do more good than harm regardless.
It might. I do know that planting hemp will clean the air better AND provide TWENTY TIMES more wood fiber.
We also need to drastically reduce the number of humans our planet has to support. Encourage people not to reproduce and allow those who are suffering (cancer etc) die with dignity and when they choose. We treat our pets better than our fellow humans.
The planet doesn’t need saving. It’s gonna be fine no matter what we do.
Certainly help but it's a temporary solution to a much larger problem. As long as we continue to produce billions of tons of CO2 then trees alone won't be enough. If we do manage to go clean eventually however trees will help massively in Earth's recovery.
Nothing lasts forever we are all on a ride that can not be stopped stop worrying and enjoy your time
Not if this virus isn’t stopped
is this the right time to focus on TREES?
Well since we want to terraform mars why not start with the Sahara. Plenty of water surrounding the Sahara. You can pump waste water from Egypt Tunisia, Libya etc. sustainable forestry isn’t just growing wood, Fruit, vegetables, nuts and cash crops grow in the same spaces.
I love trees
Yes it will. I suggest you guys spend every waking hours planting trees. Just keep planting and planting. No stops to tweet, Facebook, instagram, etc. Just plant trees.
The planet is fine. You progressives and your end of the world sky is falling cult, it’s getting re-Goddamned-diculous!
Yes, as the article suggests, but also points out that's it isn't as simple as just planting the tree.
Follow the money...
Trees need CO2 to thrive. Greta and the climate cultists want to rid the world of it. Trees are being cut down in their tens of thousands to make way for non-recyclable wind turbines to please Greta and the climate cultists.
Why does every story and situation come down to the left or the right, no in between
Corona virus will save the planet.
What do you suggest? Cutting them down won't help.
No. Not really. Billions may. Trillions would.
Save the planet from what? Plastic or plutonium?
BBC can you inform your Climate & Greta Thurnberg department to self isolate for the next 4 months and give us peace? We'll all go out and plant a fucking tree when this is over OK?
Will the BBC STOP this endless `Climate change` Propaganda and Pro Left Wing Bullshit?
BBCWorld 加油控制病毒啊！
Worth a shot mw thinks.
They would certainly help, and in the process, make the world a pleasanter place to live. 🌳
And what planet-saving solution would you suggest, Mr. Shukman?
Can't hurt, and they're beautiful. 🌲🌳🌴🌵
“ save “ the planet. That’s what we’re insinuating now ? That the planet will die because of a couple of degrees ? JFC
Nobody got time for that climate change shit now. There’s a freakin pandemic ffs
Can't hurt FFS.
Not on it's own
It always helps to have trees. I lived near Madrid, where whole forests were cut down. The poor air quality there is made so much worse because there's not enough trees to combat the Co2.
Certainly can't do any harm...
No but desalination will
