So at least that much.

We then released it all in a century.

Whilst replanting is a wonderful thing for other reasons, it's not a realistic strategy to help with CO2 capture. The rate plants capture CO2 is too low compared to how fast we've pumped it out and burnt it.

I want to see the graph of carbon captured if we spent the money restoring biodiverse forests, wetlands, and peatlands - instead of on tech bros

Your mass media won't report on it, though.
