CO2 is plant food. Like any other living thing in nature, the greater the food supply, the more numerous the living things that feed off a particular food supply. Plants feed off CO2 then release oxygen. It stands to reason that the tree huggers would be happy about industry feeding the trees.snicker?(?)?

Conclusion:

"When the tree dies, it rots as decomposers, like bacteria, fungi,and
insects eat away at it. Those decomposers gradually release almost all
of the tree's stored carbon back into the atmosphere as CO2. Only a
very small portion of the carbon in the tree ends up staying in the
soil or washing out to sea without changing back into CO2. "

Trees are great, but they are not going to solve the problem of
artificial CO2 emissions.
