In June of last year, Judge Alsup dismissed the suite brought by Oakland and San Francisco against five oil companies. He accurately identified deforestation as one of the major causes of carbon dioxide build up. The 27 million square miles of clear cut forest and drained wetlands could easily sequester hundreds of billions of tons of co2, which is the primary cause of climate disruption at the moment until the frozen methane melts. The underemployed billions can supply the labor and an honest carbon market could pay to buy back the land from the railroads and billionaire with a currency that grows in value at 5% a year like its underlying asset, trees and soil based carbon sequesterers.
