What difficulties do you have to face in your work?

I prefer the cake.

Thank you for your comment and this is info I actually already knew. I asked a one-variable question for a specific reason. Had I asked what is the best way to nurture and increase the local environment of flora and fauna, your response would have been brilliantly on-point. Again, your comment was very good.

I am just curious from a scientific standpoint, which types of trees more efficiently capture carbon? I’m not going to plant anything as my yard is 8’ x 10’ and I live in the city. There is a 100 year old maple in the strip between the sidewalk and the street that the city is going to cut down and I was curious what type of tree could occupy that spot that captured carbon more efficiently, if any.

Go birds!

I can help with this. I help design ecosystems that minic nature (Canadian Permaculture Legacy on youtube).

Stop thinking about what is the best tree. Planting trees isn't the solution. Trees are fragile. We shouldn't be sequestering carbon using "pines in lines".

We should be planting ecosystems. Trees, bushes, herbs, flowers, groundcovers. Our goal should be to design in as much diversity as possible to attract the most amount of insects, which is food for higher order creatures, and using plants that build soil life. We should use natives (to attract the insects that eat them).

This way, we aren't just planting trees, we are building soils and restoring the food chain.

Pines have very little food for other creatures. Seeviceberries on the other hand may sequester carbon slightly slower, but they attract birds. Lindens support bees. Milkweed brings in monarchs. Yarrow brings in green lace wings. Innoculated logs bring in mycelium, and habitat for insects, which are then food for frogs which are food for snakes, which are food for small mammals. Etc.

Building a robust ecosystems will leverage any benefit from the tree, by building soil, and a resilient web of life that will replicate itself along the edge of the new forest.

We can either plant 1000 trees that will die in 20 years and create a dead ecosystem, or we can plant 1000 trees, flowers, bushes and herbs that will replicate themselves and create a system where birds and squirrels now plant new trees, bees spread pollen, dynamic accumulators build topsoil, etc.

Does this mean you would do this if the Cowboys won the NFC Cham---

Nevermind, that'll never happen.

Did they fire the guy who lit the place up in Philadelphia eagles colors from a cannon off the top of the ESB?

This is pretty telling isn't it? Conservstives are more likely to listen to science from a religious leader or businessman than from a scientist.

This is the core problem.

Businessmen put profits over the environment. And Catholic religion (am a catholic) states that the earth is Man's tool to use and exploit.

So it's a major problem when the only people conservatives will listen to actually have a bias to deny climate science (AND aren't themselves scientists).

Agreed.

Ah, well if you replace the ff with v-v you'd be much closer.

This sounds like propaganda. Do you have a credible source for this statement?

The actual wood and leaves of a tree are made of carbon, so the tree captures carbon the moment it is old enough to sprout leaves or needles.

Also, one has to take into account what happens after the tree dies. Presumably, a percentage of that carbon is released back into the atmosphere and leeched into the soil.

Not OP but I would say a pondarosa pine. But the long answer would be that you should just plant whatever you want because I think I saw somewhere that the tree needs to be several decades old before it really starts to capture carbon.

Taj Mahal would be my choice. Admittedly I'm not from the US but I'm not even sure I could pick out the empire state from a skyscraper lineup.

“Shi-von” or “shiv” for short. Like the woman in Succession.

How bad are the lines? What is the best time to go to avoid really long lines?

True. It's also a mnemonic for how to pronounce Siobhan mostly correctly.

Check out SatNogs while you’re at it. Sorryimnotsorry.

Sigh-o-bhan? See-ob-han?

I’ve only seen this name written.

So you think carbon capture technology is a strong way to become carbon neutral in the future?

How often is your name mispronounced?
