There's a few "plant trees" or "terraform the sahara" comments in here.

For some context, if we planted trees wherever we could around the world we can only undo a decades worth of emissions[0].

Not only that but it would still take a century for the trees to reach maturity.

Our use of technology threw nature out of balance and we need to use technology to get the balance back again.
