Is it just me or did anyone else hear it on some tv channel yesterday morning? some research body had found from their research that trees were producing more carbon than they were storing and if I heard it correctly GRASS was storing more carbon than any tree could, I know I heard it but never seen or heard any follow up.
Is it just me?

From now until next spring trees have no leaves, except evergreens of course. So how are they capturing carbon.?

Forests have become net carbon emitters, researchers say, blaming human activity and climate change in UNESCO sites study
Forests situated within at least 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites have become net carbon sources over the past 20 years due to pressures from human activity and climate change, according to a recently published study.

Also saplings totally different to 200yr old trees uptake etc.
How do they calculate???

Nothings calculated 95% of this carbon carry on is a load of rubbish

As long as you don't plough it up

Or glyphosphate it.
Because it quickly becomes very tedious - the words in question lose their impact by excessive repetition.
English is a hugely expressive language - learn to use it.

It’s the latest con for a new method of tax once fuel has been replaced with hydrogen .
Concur, I heard it too.

Forests are good unless you log them or set fire to them. 10 of the worlds most protected forests emitted more carbon than they captured but collectively the 270 protected forests captured billions of tonnes of carbon.

I think it wasn't trees as such but rather emissions arising from the felling and burning operations happening in these supposedly protected forested areas. It is not really surprising, you do not need to fell and burn many acres of a carbon neutral mature forest to produce a situation in which carbon emissions from that area exceed sequestration.

Co emissions from degrading plant matter.

Plants of all types give off carbon dioxide when it’s dark. They only take in carbon dioxide when there is sunlight available to them and they are growing.
That’s why it’s not a good idea to have a plant in your bedroom. At night it competes with you for oxygen and tries to suffocate you with carbon dioxide.
