Umm, you haven't been paying attention. The oceanographers have unsubtly
pointed out that "that doesn't work because the tree then dies and
starts releasing that CO2 again, so please could we have more funding
for ocean sinks" {:-).

And if you think that is funny, Australia thinks it is going to liquify
it and pump it into underground storage[1]. Yer, right, like we dont't
have earth quakes like every where else. the real reason is they need to
find another use for all that underground storage they found for
vitrified nuclear waste.

[1] I'm still waiting to see the nett energy calcs on that on. How much
heat do you release separating and liquifying CO2?
