At what point during “leaving it alone” does the profit happen?
Thing is, it is possible to make it profitable. Trees fixating carbon produce wood. Cut trees, sell wood. New wood grows. Repeat. The more wood we use in construction, furniture, paper, the more carbon is removed from the atmosphere.
There really needs to be a global fund that every country pays into, that’s dispersed to countries with significant forestation in proportion to their contribution. If money is the barrier to climate action, we need to make it the best option economically to maintain forests and other similar areas.
Thats the trick ain’t it? This whole thing would fix itself if we would leave everything alone. We won’t.
Narrator: They did not leave it alone.
And this is what happened to the Earth.
