I think it's pedantic and missed the point of team trees. Can we plant enough trees to undo climate change? yes, but only if we also got rid of all the useless farmland and instantly stopped burning fuel. But that's not the point of team trees anyway. It's just a show of force that hundreds of people who may not all get along or agree, can put down their bullshit and do something positive. And there's lots of places you could plant those 20mill trees and have them be extremely beneficial to the ecosystem you plant them in.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

@@thethoughtemporium hmm. first - thanks for the video. all bookmarked, great links. However I'm siding with Thunderfoot on this - the risk is that people think they've achieved something by giving a dollar to this. pledge to lower your use of plastic by X amount a week forever. pledge to plant a tree yourself every time you can (it's not like the grounds not covered in seeds this time of year). It's like a diet - diets don't work. This isn't changing peoples behaviour - teaching them how they can each make a difference every day - it's saying pay a dollar and feel better.

The thing with the 20 million trees is that is gets treated as the solution.

In practise this project not even close to scratching the surface of a small part of the tip of the iceberg. @Ryan Smith You are right, most of the earths surface is water, and most of the plants on earth live there.

If you really want to help the world, don't throw away stuff, make sure stuff lasts longer so that you don't need to produce more and you don't need to pollute. THAT is the approach. The solution is not to let some kind of autistic girl sail across the ocean on a new million dollar yacht.

You know what a $1/tree makes me think... is if the entire US military budget was suddenly diverted to planting trees, assuming the $1/tree held, it would be enough to double the number of trees on earth within just a few short years. Think about that for a moment. I'd say that kind of scale of effort gets well into geoengineering territory, and is absolutely possible were there the political will to do so. (and before anyone comes in wanting to burst bubbles, yes yes, I know marginal cost per tree would likely go up as supply/labor/land runs short... but still)

if we had their entire budget, we'd max out the number of trees we could plant, and still have most of it left over

Planting trees to restore various ecosystems, that I can get behind. That goal sounds a bit more realistic than what others have said about planting trees to counter climate change. I'm all for trying to stop man-made climate change, but planting trees isn't the best way of countering that. When you do the math, if you wanted to simply bring carbon emissions in the US to zero, you would have to plant over 40,000,000 trees, EVERY DAY until you stopped burning coal and gasoline.

@@MCSteve_ yes yes i understood thank you for your answer. I just mentioned this for giving the reason why i am asking. Sincerely, yours.

[@SolarShado]

Most of the satellites he's talking about are in geostationary orbit, meaning their orbital speed matches the earth's rotational speed. The net effect is that they remain in the same spot in the sky as seen from the ground. This requires an equatorial orbit at a very specific altitude. There are also geosynchronous orbits, which cause a satellite to return to the same spot in the sky once per day (or multiple times per day, or once every 2/3/etc. days). These are more flexible, in that they can be at higher inclinations (i.e., not perfectly equatorial) and more varied altitudes, but are more difficult to maintain constant radio contact with. (Technically, a geostationary orbit is a subtype of geosync orbit, in a "all square are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares" way.)
