Weapons-grade whataboutism.

Unfortunately, the reality is more complex.

Dude no fucking shit. What's that? The trees planted along the railway died because nobody watered them? SAY IT ISN'T SO JOE.

Trees undoubtedly play a role in fighting climate change, but they have to be deployed smartly.

ORLY.

The argument made in the title is "planting trees alone will not stop global warming." The argument made in the article is "we can't plant any old trees anywhere we want." Thanks, genius. Really appreciate what you're bringing to the discussion, FT.

I suspect the author had in laws coming to town, and the kid had piano practice on Friday due to the holiday, and Saturday was the only time the shop could look at the car..
