Forget aging trees. Canadian forests are ablaze basically wiping out any green reductions in CO2 emmissions from industry or consumers. Besides the loss of property, wildlife and hopefully NOT people, it will take a long time for the Canadian Boreal forest to actually be an active carbon sink again.
As I understood by now, the path governments want to go is an “overshoot path” where we “temporarily” cross targets and rely on carbon storage (both natural and artificial) to go back. Artificial carbon storage isn’t really here yet and natural is going.
I wish I could still believe in humanity finding an answer to the climate crisis dilemma.
I’m not familiar with this “overshoot path,” but whatever, what little the strategy of the world’s governments, it’s not a fraction of what’s needed.
We are staring at a collapse that’s going to end modern civilization as we know it.
