F.A.H. – Which Science Can Save The World Now From Climate Change?

Forestry. 

The Tree Lovers say, "We must plant trillions more trees!"

Agriculture.
The Land Lovers say, "We must practice more organic farming!"

Horticulture.
The Garden Lovers say, "We must plant more gardens!"

THiNK!

Forestry is it?

Tree Lovers insist that we must plant more trees – millions, billions, trillions. Wikipedia tells me there are now 4 countries that have planted billions of trees (en.wikipedia.org):

2.8 Billion China
2.1 Billion India
1.7 Billion Ethiopia
1 Billion Pakistan

The United States is 12th, with 315 Million trees. The total is 14.2 Billion plus trees planted as of 2016, or 3 years ago.

Question: Now, why is the world still growing warmer and warmer?

Answer: It's not the trees! No matter how much carbon dioxide trees convert to wood, it's not enough. They are not doing enough because they cannot. In the first place, those "trees planted" are not trees yet – they are either seeds, seedlings or saplings.g Slow-to-grow trees cannot save the world from climate change!

Actually, I have written against relying on trees to fight climate change; see my last essay, "Planting Trees Will Not Save Us – Here's Why From Harvard & Stockholm Universities" (04 May 2019, Journalism for Development, blogspot.com).

Agriculture is it?

Land Lovers insist that we must practice any combination of the below: biodynamic farming, minimum tillage, organic farming, permaculture, regenerative farming, trash farming, rainwater harvesting, and zero tillage.

ANN says about "Crop Production" of Manitoba (2013, climatechangeconnection.org):

A focus needs to be on the implementation of farming practices that develop soil health, exercise sustainable nutrient management and encourage environmental sustainability. Manitoba agriculture is in a good position to influence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, because farming practices can be modified to become part of the climate change solution.

"Farming can be modified to become part of the climate change solution" – I don't want part answers; i'm looking for complete solution(s)!

Differently, I have been advocating organic agriculture since 3 years ago; read my essay, "The Enemy Within: Nitrous Oxide, Not Carbon Dioxide!" (20 June 2016, Creative Thinkering, blogspot.com). Because organic means no nitrous oxide from no nitrogenous fertilizers. But I have since changed my mind when I began to think that even organic farming leaves out so much bare soil absorbing and reflecting the sun's heat. Global warming.

Horticulture is it?
Yes!

I Garden Lover insist that we must plant gardens of any combination of the below: flowers, fruits, fruit trees, medicinals, ornamentals, and vegetables. Plant a garden anywhere, any size, anywhere you find bare soil. This is what I call The Greening Revolution (see my essay, "The Greening Revolution! This Is How To Defeat Climate Change!" 24 February 2019, Journalism for Development, blogspot.com). The Greening Revolution means no bare soil left behind, no vacant lot unplanted, no farm planted with bare in-betweens of crops. Creepers on the ground, crops standing tall, shade trees; this is multi-layer carbon sequestration.
