For decades, we have been planting trees in the hope of reducing carbon pollution. But when it comes to carbon sequestration, have we really gone backwards?
As the United Nations Climate Conference (COP26) approaches next November, the topic of carbon capture and storage will be the subject of heated debate. In this episode, we travel to the forests of Oregon's Pacific Northwest to see what we can learn about forest carbon sinks from Beverly Law and her groundbreaking research with the university's Department of Forestry of Oregon State.
What do you think about planting trees and storing forest carbon? Let us know in the comments!
