No no.. it'll never work.... plant more trees?

Sure it makes sense when you look at the small picture.... but it's not gonna work.

If you continue to burn a fuel that is not renewable, that produces a lot of pollution.... you would have to plant a massave amount of trees.... and guess what?

The human population isn't shrinking any.

There won't be enough space to plant that many trees until we get to another planet or get WWIII going.... which is soon enough, and when the fossil fuels do run out, you'll have to switch to more enviromentally friendly fuels anyways..... and those trees will be cut down, farms and such that produce these fuels and our food will take their place.

The goal now is to remove all the pollution we can, so when we do over populate, and have no space for trees.... and our planet looks just like a Death Star, then we won't need them anyways.
