Trees get too much credit. It's plankton in the ocean that absorbs like 70% of all co2

Don't plankton mostly release that back into the atmosphere when they die though? Trees sequester it underground as roots and above ground as wood (assuming it doesnt burn, which is an increasingly ambitious assumption)
