   How does it help if when trees die they are decomposed releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere?

   Millions upon millions of trees are planted by the timber industry every year. Young, vigorous, growing carbon sinks that will sequester that carbon into lumber, not a rotting dying carbon producing tree.

   What about the Red Wood. The live one thousand and five hundred more years than the Sequoia. That the Sequoia live two thousand years were the Red Wood livea three thousand and five hundred years. As for size at the bottom they are more fat the Sequoia but the Red Wood is the most tallest in the world and for wood they take up more. Also the Red Wood is fire resistant one it gets big .

   I love Giant Sequoias, and have seen some remarkable individuals in both Ireland and the UK. I've visited the groves of the giants in the Sequoia National Park in California. I'm all for planting lots and lots, anyplace they will thrive and not muscle-out indigenous species. All that said, this 'project', or at least its presentation, really hangs on the edge of superficiality and over simplification.

   Just starting with the vagueness of its carbon footprint assertion: No way that sprout will compensate for even the carbon resources expended to grow it o its planting size. At what point in its development would it have come even with, and begin to compensate for, ongoing personal carbon impacts? 20 years? 50?

   One giant sequoia tree offsets the carbon footprint of an entire life?? BS

   Planting a giant sequoia to “ offset your carbon footprint “ doesn’t actually compute in reality. Lol. These people are beyond brainwashed and DUMB.

    I really like giant sequoias, I don't have a place to plant one in the ground but I bought a 45Litre pot and planted a 1 year old seedling into it and it was struggling the first year in the pot but its nice and healthy after 2 years with me so its 3 years old now.

    The giant sequoias have survived thousands of years of fires and droughts in the sierras. Lol

    They're just going to fall over and become coal. Carbon is carbon. The laws of thermodynamics are very clear 🙂

    They are not dying in the United States. Thousands are being planted in many states.

    If you're going to plant a forest don't plant the trees all in straight lines like a grid. That will never look natural, it will always be obviously a planted forest.

    It looks really awkward to plant them in straight rows like that

    Hmm, also, is it just me, or ppl might get complacent?, as in, 'Oh well now when I've planted SUCH a tree, I don't need to try as hard to try and reduce my carbon footprint… the rest of my life'🤔

    He’ll do more damage way before the tree even starts to grow. Sounds nice but yeah….

    What would clear up the offset of your entire life would be if the tree fell on you 😂😂

    Giant sequoias are native to California. I'm not sure it's wise to plant them in the UK out of their natural habitat.
