Artificial Trees?
Filed in archive Global Climate by Greg Cruey on September 1, 2009
I saw a fascinating article at TreeHugger the other day on the possibility of an artificial forest in the UK.
Carbon-capturing artificial trees have been getting some due attention lately, and for good reason: each fake tree can suck down CO2 thousands of times faster than their leafy, organic brethren-giving them intriguing potential as part of the solution to global climate change. Now, scientists have taken the idea a step further-they're proposing that one of the most practical ways to cut greenhouse gases on a large scale is to build a forest of 100,000 artificial trees over the next 10-20 years.
So, can we build better forests? And I guess the more important question is, can we do it in time...
