This is Scott Amyx with today’s Climate Change Flash Briefing. The IPCC report urgently recommends reducing emission of greenhouse gases by transitioning away from fossil fuels toward clean, sustainable energy. For carbon dioxide removal in the atmosphere, the IPCC suggests reforestation and ecosystem restoration. The process of tree photosynthesis absorbs CO2, stores the carbon and emits clean oxygen. A mature tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs of carbon a year and generates enough oxygen for four people to breathe fresh air.    But not everyone believes that planting more trees is the right solution.
