@bioemerl@usernamesAreTricky@blazera picture this. You have a glass of water and a spoon of salt. The water has a concentration of ions, when you pour the salt in it you move the balance to a higher concentration of salt. Basically you have an atmosphere with X concentration of CO² and lets say a population of a billion cows and a billion trees. What happens if you double the amount of cows and half the amount of trees? Do you think the CO² concentration remains unchanged?
@bioemerl@usernamesAreTricky@blazera they are during active growth. Also my example was only to illustrate how the balance tilts, and even if you keep on denial, cows methane emissions can be measured, and are a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Cows don’t run on fossil fuel that have been in the ground for millions of years. Cars do.

Relatively little. Trees aren’t actually a huge carbon sink.
