Yes, the forest recovers pretty quickly if we let him be, but the forest that was devastated in 10 seconds took centuries to get there. A tree needs at least 10 years of growth to become “adult”. So yeah, a couple years is a long time but let’s not neglect the fact that what was destroyed was the result of centuries of the forest just being.

Being real is precisely my point. We can plant a billion seeds today; those seeds becoming trees that suck up enough CO2 from the atmosphere to make a difference needs at least 10 years.

Great, but we need decades of protecting the Amazon before we can see anything similar to “Reforestation”
