Scientists have plan to save the world by chopping down boreal forest...

• Joanne Nova

The latest plan to get better weather in a hundred years, is to cut down trees and dump them in the Arctic.

The great northern boreal forest has expanded by 12% since 1984. Which means it has locked up all this extra carbon as it. Instead of waiting for it to catch fire and burn, the thinking is that we could cut it down now, and throw the logs in a river that leads to the Arctic ocean where they will sink and take carbon to the sea floor.

New Scientist thought this was a good idea. Future anthropologists may file modern eco-science with arsenic cures, and radium toothpaste.

In order to save the environment, we need to cut down 180,000 square kilometers of forest and toss it into the river (every year).

How many trees do we have to kill to stop a cyclone in 2100AD?
