This underlines the reality, whatever the numbers are. Carbon capture is nature’s job.

UK forests could store almost double the amount of carbon than previous calculations suggest, with consequences for our understanding of carbon stocks and humanity’s response to climate change, according to a new study involving UCL researchers.
For the study, published today in the journal Ecological Solutions and Evidence, the international team of scientists used a novel 3D scanning technique and analysis to assess the amount of aboveground biomass (AGB)—used to derive carbon storage—of 815 trees in a UK woodland, says Phys.org.
The team found that their results were 77% higher than previous estimates (410 t ha-1 of biomass vs. 232 t ha-1).
