Natural Forest Regeneration and Tree Planting Complexity: An Enigma of Climate Mitigation in the World of Technology


Balongo Caleb Vincent

Abstract

Given the severity and implication of prolonged palpability epitomized by Climate change, discussion and negotiation between parties  and policy applications for mitigations employed is not 100% solution. The mitigation of carbon emission through tree planting alone is  inadequate. There’s need for knowledge on the type of trees, where to plant them, and their impact on the biosphere. Previous study  shows that uncensored tree planting programs causes riparian land to dry up. This study lingers on achieving climate change mitigation  through afforestation, algae, and technology. It adopts three hypotheses; the first, there’s nothing like global warming or climate change  occurring, Secondly, global warming and climate change occurs as natural and cyclic events not related to human activity,  Thirdly, global warming and climate change are outcome of mans’ activities. This is a desk top study, the findings indicate that trees are important factors in conserving atmosphere with a balanced biosphere, but not solutions to climate crisis. Thus, certain types of trees  cause problems for other plants and animals in their symbiotic nature. Scientists shows that Algae consumes 400x more CO2 hence,  investing in them is efficient. Additionally, investing in technology like carbon engineering, direct air capture, and geological  sequestration are effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere and revolutionize the energy sector. In  conclusion, embracing technology and change of human consumer behavior should be the way to go in the contemporary world to  mitigate climate issues.
