Headline is a bit of an overstatement. Planting trees is still good (usually, don’t destroy other important landscapes to do so) but bogus carbon credits need to be eliminated.
In fact, I would say that urban tree planting is an important climate mitigation strategy. It’s a cost effective way to protect vulnerable people from extreme heat.
