You can not grow oil, you can not grow steel, but you can grow a tree.
I hug every tree, before I chop it down, and then I can plant a trillion more to take it’s place, when I burn the tree, to survive the cold, it produces new life from the co2, so a new tree can breathe and grow, into new energy again, or build a home, or grow fruit to eat, to be new energy in you and me, and then grow a new tree, from my breath I exhale co2, for the trees to breathe.
The plants and trees breathe the carbon, then I can breath the oxygen, then I breathe out carbon and oxygen, so the tree can breathe in the carbon again, and then I can breathe in the oxygen again,
carbon and oxygen together is for the tree to breathe, the carbon and oxygen apart, is for you and me to breathe.
(the carbon cycle) is recycled energy, over and over again.
You can not explain global warming from one tree ring, or prove CO2 is the cause of climate change, with a computer weather prediction.
