Climate Plans Focus More on Planting Trees Than on Protecting Forests, Experts Warn

Are you kidding me? Taking away the rule that gets us new street trees when sidewalks are being torn up anyway? Daniel Lurie is a cartoon villain. https://abc7news.com/post/san-francisco-considering-changes-building-code-require…

San Francisco considering changes to Public Works code that requires tree planting
San Francisco city officials are hoping to give builders the option to pay a fee instead of planting the required trees.

I am curious about tree migration efforts to get ahead of climate change caused forest dieoffs.
I live towards the southern end of the California coast redwoods. As the climate warms the cool-foggy zone that these trees need will be moving north.
But for trees that take a thousand years to mature, they can't move their range northward at the needed rate.
(I hear that there is a similar issue with sugar maples.)
Anyway, I am wondering if there are planting/propaga…

COP30 climate pledges favor unrealistic land-based carbon removal over emission cuts, says report
An analysis of national climate plans released today at the COP30 climate summit in Brazil warns that countries are failing to carry out core work required to reduce emissions by halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation, and are instead pushing unrealistic carbon removal schemes, such as large-scale tree planting.

Fantastic ARTE documentary about the dark side and dangerous negative impacts of global tree planting & carbon credit programs, in reality often PR frauds/distractions, relying on lack of regulation & scientific errors, amounting to nothing more than clear cutting existing mature forests, replacing them with fast growing monocultures (mostly Eucalyptus or Douglas firs) for future logging activity, handing out subsidies to the forestry industry and displacing indigenous people/ecosyst…
