The Earth's air conditioning system needs maintenance if we want to restore a balanced environment satisfying and supportive of life on this planet.

Here’s the idea. Take a big bunch of those carbon tax dollars and invest them in reclaiming vibrancy of the forest by planting rather than cutting down trees. Since it is all about money, pay off the hungry industrialists who want to put the land to financial use with development. Make it more profitable to them to leave the land alone and return much of it to its original condition. In this way we can slow global warming, reduce CO2 and replace it with fresh oxygenated air. It’s how things are supposed to work – it is called photosynthesis.
