Technology once developed can be weaponized easily, cheaply, and with worse effects than nuclear war.

Being Indian and from north India. I am against climate interventions. Indian govt. has increased road infra and dams in Himalayan regions of India. That has seen cracks in people home, unprecedented land slides. Many cars crushed under landslide debree. Unprecedented rising of water during rainfall, leading to devastation in states of Himachal Pradesh. We respected nature in hills and we didnot had such calamity. moment we started interfering we paid the Why cant we simply grow more trees?
India need 100 more tree per person to become carbon neutral.
Is world data of 3 trillion trees data accurate.
I dont think so. If you do a simple math, you will find if we had 3 trillion trees world is carbon neutral. We should be not facing increasing in Co2 levels.
one tree converts 22 kg of Co2 into O2.
3 trillion trees = 66 trillion kg of Co2 converted.
37.4 billion tons on CO2 emissions. so 37.4 trillion kg of CO2 emitted. and it is less than 66 trillion kg of CO2 converted by trees.

Data are not accurate. Scientists earlier gave an estimate of 400 billion trees in world through satellite mapping. I believe that data is correct. 3 trillion trees was given by worlds govt. or emissions data is incorrect.

what should be do as common inhabitants of this world. stop trusting these data and just plant more trees.
